    I’ve tried to re-watch Sex and the City but its impossible. I loved it back in the day.

    Also the West Wing - I’m sure its still good but the current state of politics makes it look like satire.

      The West Wing is a fantasy show about how you wish politics worked. Then we got Veep, which is how we thought politics really worked. Now we realize Veep was also a fantasy.

        Veep still holds.

        ___the VP being a racist idiot promoting Christian math vs. the bad Muslim one who’s married his own sister. The president gets elected by giving Tibet back to China and banning same-sex marriage. The last thing we hear from her is “Shalom, David! So what did the Palestinians do this time?”. I mean… can it be any more perfect?
