In satisfying ‘Veep’ finale, Selina gets what she wanted — and the final indignity she deserved
Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer in the series finale of “Veep.” By Hank Stuever Hank Stuever TV critic Email Bio Follow TV critic May 13 at 1:56 AM Spoiler alert: This review discusses the series finale of “Veep.”
But viewers certainly did. In a satisfyingly conclusive, supersized episode “Veep” luxuriated one final time in history-making swerves of political fate, echoing the bizarre events that had previously landed Selina in the Oval Office for a term that was so short it’s why they invented asterisks. For the last two seasons, some viewers have asked how “Veep” could possibly compete with the real headlines of the day. The show’s answer, usually, was to deliver story lines that were inventively absurd and even funnier than anything lampooned on “Saturday Night Live” or in late-night monologues.
Can I repeat it here? Not much of it, except: “I just hate to see smart women throw their political careers away on men who only see them as the [slur for a body part] of least resistance.”
