Veep: The Complete First Season review

Anton van Beek  |  Aug 9, 2013

Armando Iannucci's brand of political satire makes it to the United States pretty much intact

It may not be quite as sharp or foul-mouthed as The Thick of It, but Armando Iannucci still manages to mine plenty of laughs from the sour heart of the political world with his first US sitcom. And as we've come to expect from HBO, this two-disc Blu-ray release is a very slick operation, delivering attractively sharp and bright AVC 1.78:1 1080p encodes and cleanly-rendered DTS-HD MA 5.1 mixes for all eight episodes. The set also includes some excellent extras including 12(!) cast and crew episode commentaries, a 14-minute Making of… and deleted scenes.

Veep: The Complete First Season, HBO Home Entertainment, All-region BD, £35 Approx
HCC VERDICT: 4/5
