20 Greatest HBO Shows Of All Time
7. Veep
Created by comic genius Armando Iannucci - who was also responsible for the likes of The Thick of It and Alan Partridge - Veep is essentially the American version of The Thick Of It. Starring Julie Louis-Dreyfus, probably the greatest American comic actress, Veep is scathing political satire, which is something of a rarity for US TV.
The US TV schedule is over-saturated with comedies but Veep still stands out as something fresh and focussed as Iannucci's style has adapted miraculously well for the American audience.
