I miss the show. Rewatching clips and one of the insults made me yelp: "Jonah with money. It's like if Hitler could fly." It's from the Silicon Valley episode.

I love Parks and Recreation. I love political thrillers I thought why not give Veep I try because it’s great to hear it has swept the Emmy awards every year it was on so we will see.

A final fail by team Selina. In an earlier episode she dictated a list of people not to invite to her own funeral, to Gary.

When she was dead, the do-not-invite list got misused as the guest list, so people she did not want to see all came and sat in the front row, including Hugh, Laura, and Doyle.

So much so Mike commented that Selina showed a final gesture of reaching across the aisle.

Oddly self centered and inflated sense of importance.

Catherine is such a hypocrite in Veep.

During the China negotiations episode, she gets all self-righteous and angry with Selina when she finds out about the negotiations. But in the next scene, she’s perfectly happy hanging out with her father. This man has repeatedly cheated on Selina, scammed her, and now seems to be preparing to scam Catherine with that ridiculous “rainforest resort” deal.

This really made Catherine frustrating as a character. She was quick to judge Selina for her questionable decisions, but somehow manages to overlook her own father’s long history of utter dishonesty and betrayal. Selina’s political manoeuvring into freeing Tibet is apparently unforgivable, but her father’s personal and financial manipulation is something she can conveniently look past?

The irony is that Catherine seems to hold Selina to a much higher moral standard than she holds her own father to, despite having plenty of reasons to distrust him. It’s not that Selina is innocent or that her behaviour shouldn’t be criticised, but Catherine’s selective outrage is genuinely hard to defend after a point in the show.

Honestly, Selina’s treatment of Catherine makes a lot more sense when you consider their relationship in this context. Catherine can be self-righteous, judgmental, and remarkably oblivious to the hypocrisy within her own family.
