Did anyone recommend "The Brink" on HBO yet in this thread?
One of the best recent comedies... and cancelled. I don't recall ever being so bummed when a show was cancelled (mostly due to it's short run)
Yeah it's great. I don't think of it now because of the one season, but it's not like it really left you hanging with anything. The end of that season wasn't so much a cliffhanger as a perfect "well, that's just how shit goes" regarding the plot.
I'm thinking the issue with Veep the last season and ~1/2 is that no longer being Veep really changes the dynamics of the characters. And especially this season wrg to Selena and her daughter (and mother)...she's actually more of a straight-up cold-hearted bitch now than the "delightfully negligent powerful woman" she was before.
Last week, I actually found myself a bit turned-off by the character. She's supposed to be unlikable, but perhaps this more caustic version of her is a necessary evolution into being POTUS--now that she has
real power, she can finally be the jerk that she always wanted to be?
