How this season is filed

Filed by Max Sterling · Streaming Confidential

HBO dropped a vice president into a weekly grind and watched insult comedy outlast election cycles — Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a chart that never stops punishing the lead.

TV Flash files Season 1 of Veep (2012–2019) on HBO as the first listed season of 7 — 8 listed hours, 2012-04-22–2012-06-10 from “Fundraiser” (S01E01) to “Tears” (S01E08). Titles, dates, and synopses on file — no invented recaps.

    Fundraiser

    Pilot note — From the desk: Veep opens its catalog run with “Fundraiser” (2012-04-22). Modern political satire gold standard; insult comedy as institutional autopsy. Armando Iannucci exit, election-year "too real" jokes, and awards sweep fatigue in the best way.
