More Critic Reviews for Veep Season 5 All Critics (35) | Top Critics (12) | Fresh (33) | Rotten (2) I'm not willing to say that Veep is as "funny as it's ever been" but it's still much funnier than most things on TV. Apr 22, 2016 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic Every year, it has seemed like Veep wouldn't be able to top itself, but the innovative and unrelenting comedy just kept doing it anyway, every year, without fail. Apr 22, 2016 | Rating: A | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic Hilarious, as always, and unexpectedly, maybe an instructional guide to the current political landscape. Apr 21, 2016 | Rating: A+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Led by Louis-Dreyfus at the height of her powers, this is a show that makes palate-cleansers of the bare-knuckled, real-life characters trying to gouge and kick their way into the Oval Office. But it's OK. Go ahead and laugh. Apr 21, 2016 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic The familiar cast of gargoyles have retained an obsession with the rectal that reeks of the 18th century, but also of the production line: jokes manufactured with machine-tooled efficiency. May 3, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Jasper Rees Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Right now when politics seem to be filled with more despair than usual, laughing an incompetent president without fearing real world consequences offers a bit of catharsis. Oct 30, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com It remains one of the funniest shows on television, but for myself, there has to be more to the story being told. Oct 10, 2018 | Rating: 2.5 | Full Review… Alan French AwardsCircuit.com Veep is still at a high level of excellence. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 11, 2018 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) The ugly truths of Veep's fifth season shine bright, and it's more uncomfortable to watch than ever. Jun 27, 2018 | Full Review… Heather Hogan Autostraddle It's an amazing combination of humor and emotion achieved in the last episode, which launches Veep in a new direction and ends with an automatic desire to know more about the new life of Selina Meyer and her team.
