Having become president after her predecessor stepped down, Selina Meyer is about to give her first major speech as commander-in-chief, though it remains to be seen whether her term will outlast that of America’s shortest-serving president, William Henry Harrison. With the stakes for Selina and her team higher than ever before, she must still run for election, and in the weeks to come they will grapple with how to make her seem “presidential.”

Reviews

The series reserves its most blistering humor for the universal narcissism on display, always distracting from the real work at hand. For all the brilliant, tossed-off insults and uniformly excellent performances, including Patton Oswalt as a “hands-on” aide to the vice president, the season's through line is its treatment of politics as a con artist's medium. – Slant Magazine, Matt Brennan

Veep enters its fourth season, firmly established as one of television’s best comedies, and then immediately does what seems impossible–it delivers its most thoroughly assured, hilarious and brilliantly written and acted episodes. – The Hollywood Reporter, Tim Goodman
