Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley are in good company.

At 10:30 p.m., Veep, the Emmy Award-winning political satire, rounds out HBO’s lauded Sunday night lineup. Narcissistic, image-conscious President Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) seeks to retain her limited scope of influence in any way possible.

To paraphrase one of her closest advisers, Meyer knows only two modes: indecision and bad decision. Her gross incompetence is matched only by that of her bumbling gaggle of aides; overstressed strategist Amy Brookheimer (Anna Chlumsky), fiercely loyal body man Gary Walsh (Tony Hale), thorn-in-the-side operative Jonah Ryan (Timothy Simons), and eager-to-please staffer Richard Splett (Sam Richardson), to name a few.

If House of Cards is how the American political system operates at its darkest hour and The West Wing is how it appears at its brightest, Veep is probably what it looks like at three o’clock on a Wednesday.

No murder, hardly any backstabbing, and little governing of any meaningful consequence. Episodes are largely spent cleaning up one public relations catastrophe after the next.

Even as the show enters its fifth season with premiere episode “Morning After,” it feels as vibrant as ever. Reassuring news, indeed, as original showrunner Armando Iannucci passed the baton to Curb Your Enthusiasm executive producer David Mandel following the conclusion of Season 4.

Despite the changes at the helm, there’s no disruption discernible to the viewer. The cast shines, the production values soar, and the profanity-laden one-liners land as well as ever.

Veep is arguably the most stellar show on television today. You’d be hard-pressed to find a comedy that is more consistently entertaining. And, under Mandel’s leadership, it looks like it’ll stay that way.
