Veep: Season 1

1x03 Catherine

7.8/10. First episode of the series I've truly enjoyed and consistently laughed at! Bringing in Selina's daughter, Sue, was a nice way to ground some of the insanity going around. There were fun little touches like Selina making the "it's not all about me" argument in a room full of pictures of her. The run-around with naming a former oil guy to the clean jobs board was the kind of fun horse-trading I enjoy on these sorts of shows. And even the hurricane/new dog subplot did a nice job at being absurd in and of itself and used for a semi-dramatic moment. Plus Gary was in fine form with his "Gary-okee" and again, Sue being around really helped in providing a straight man for the other loony, district-brainwashed characters on the show to bounce off of. (Her describing the White House rep. as having a "police sketch" face was pretty funny.) Overall, the most encouraging episode of the show yet.
