The Review

Veep is the most savage political comedy ever produced. Julia Louis-Dreyfus's Selina Meyer — a vice president and eventual president consumed by narcissism, pettiness, and raw ambition — is one of the great comedic performances in television history. Armando Iannucci's creation proved that real politics is far more absurd than any satire. Louis-Dreyfus won six consecutive Emmys for the role.

Fun Fact

Julia Louis-Dreyfus won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series six years in a row for Veep, a record for any performer in a single role.
