Kumaxesha amathandathu, Veep yayihlala iyeyona miboniso ibalaseleyo, ekrelekrele, nehlekisayo kumabonwakude. Isenokungafuneki nokuba ibe yeyomntu ofanelekileyo. Kwaye ikwazile ukuhlala ikrelekrele emva kokumka komyili wayo kunye nomboniso womboniso, u-Armando Iannucci, oshiye emva kwexesha lesine. Umboniso wasinda kulahleko. Kodwa ayinakuphila kuDonald Trump.
Ukusuka kwisiqendu sayo sokuqala, sesixhenxe – esangoku nesokugqibela –isizini ye Veep uzive engekho. Kudala yayihlala ngale ndlela ngengozi, kwaye ngenxa yoko, ukulinganisa imeko yethu yezopolitiko. Ngoku, nangona kunjalo, kubonakala ukuba ababhali bathabatha imicimbi yezopolitiko kunye nobudlelwane kwaye bafumana iindlela zokuzibeka kwiscreen. Ujoliso emva koko lincinci kwaba bantu badelelekileyo kodwa benyanzelisayo kwaye nangakumbi ekunikezeleni abaphulaphuli izigcawu eziqhelekileyo ukuze bahlekise ngazo.
Uninzi lweli xesha lonyaka luzive lutsalwe ngokuthe ngqo kwimixholo ephambili. U-Jonah unemibono eyoyikisayo malunga nogonyo kwaye ukwasungule nokuthathwa kwi-birtherism, efuna isatifikethi sokuzalwa sika-Selina ukungqina ubudala bakhe. Kule veki (abonakalisi), USelina wayehlala no-Julian Assange okwinqanaba elibi kwigumbi lokuhlala ngexesha elifutshane lokuhlala kwindawo yozakuzo yaseFinland. Kwaye ungandiqali ngendlela umboniso omoshe ngayo u-Amy wam othandekayo ngokumguqula abe nguKellyanne Conway knockoff.
Endaweni yokuthimba ubuchule ngokubanzi kunye nethoni yezopolitiko, isinike uphawu lwentengiso Iannuccian iwindow kwiziphene zabantu eziguqula izakhiwo ezikhulu zopolitiko zibe kukurhwaphiliza amandla, into esinayo ngoku siziva ngathi luthotho lwe-mediocre SNL Iipunchline, ezibonisa ubuyatha obusele buvele ngokugqithisileyo beemeko ezithile zezopolitiko ezikhoyo. Kunobuqili obuncinci, ukunyanzela okuncinci, kwaye okubi kakhulu, umboniso uzincamile ngabalinganiswa bawo kwimfuno yakhe yokuhambelana kwangoko.
USelina uhlala egxile kwingqondo yakhe kwinjongo yakhe yokunyuka aye kwelona ziko liphezulu lezopolitiko. Kodwa kwangoko kumdlalo, xa uSelina wayengu Veep, owona mqobo wakhe mkhulu (emehlweni akhe, ubuncinci) yayingumongameli wangoku, u-Hughes, owayemgcina ekuthatheni naliphi na igunya lokwenyani. Iyatsho ukuba asikaze simbone uHughes, hayi kuba wayengabalulekanga kwibali likaSelina, kodwa ngenxa yokuba aba bapolitiki- uSelina waquka- bayatshintshana. Akakhathali ngabantu baseMelika (uyabajongela phantsi abantu baseMelika) kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo akafuni ukuba ngumongameli kuba ucinga ukuba angangcono kunaye nabani na. Uziva nje ukuba ulifanele uhlobo oluthile lwamandla.
Konke oko kuyinyani ngeli xesha lonyaka, kodwa endaweni yokuhlekisa ngeziko elivelisa olu hlobo lobundlobongela, umboniso ugxile kuSelina njenge-monster ethile. Ngexesha apho sonke sityale imali kuphando lukaMueller kwaye ngoku sinika ingxelo, ukubona kanye le nto wayezimisele ukuyenza ukuze anyulwe, akumnandi kangako ukubona uSelina esilinganisela izibonelelo zokudutyulwa kwabantu abaninzi okanye enikezela ubomi bangempela baseTibetan eTshayina. UMongameli Liu ngokutshintshiselana ngoncedo lwakhe kwibhidi yakhe yamva nje kamongameli.
Uhambo luka-Amy (oh hayi, bekungafanelekanga ukuba ndiqale) ibisoloko inamandla. Inguquko yakhe yamva nje inokuphikiswa ukuze yenze ingqiqo, njengoko ebesoloko encama impilo yakhe kunye nokunyaniseka kwakhe ekuzinikeleni ekuncedeni omnye umntu anyuke. Akubonakali ngathi akakhathali ngomgqatswa, ngamandla kuphela kunye nokuphumelela, ukuze akwazi ukutsiba ukusuka eSelina ukuya eBuddy Calhoun ukuya, ngokuqinisekileyo, nkqu noJona. Mna unamandla ube nakho ukumthenga ngokutshintsha umfanekiso wakhe uphela, kuba ngokuqinisekileyo ebeya kulazi ifuthe lomlomo weConway-esque. Kodwa ke uDan uyamncoma (ndaphantse ndanikezela ukunceda ikhondo lomsebenzi wakho, emva koko ndikubethe, emva koko uxelele wonke umntu e-ofisini ukuba ulihule elingazinzanga, uncomo lukaDan) kwaye ngequbuliso utyumkile ngokwala kwakhe kunye nobukho bakhe intombi entsha? UTrumpian usebenzisa ubufazi obunezikhali ukufumana abagxeki kunye nabachasi ukuba bangamjongeli phantsi. Akanyanisekanga njengabuthathaka kwaye uxhomekeke njengoko u-Amy ebonakala enjalo. Olo phuculo lomlinganiswa lungaqhelekanga lwalungamfanele kwaye yayiyinkcitho yesikrini sakhe, kungasathethwa ke ngengqondo yakhe.
Veep yayiyeyona nto ibalaseleyo xa yayikho kwihlabathi elilinganayo nesihogo sethu sezopolitiko. Ngoku kubonakala ngathi kuye kwatsiba amaxesha, kuncinci kakhulu ukuzonwabisa. Kushiyeke isiqendu esinye kuphela kule sizini yokugqibela, siya kuthi (mhlawumbi) sifumane ikepusi kwi-arc kaSelina. Okwangoku, andazi nje ukuba ibalulekile na.
