Seen none of these except one ep of Veep.
What an awful show, huge amount of
vulgarity. It's nothing but punch lines, it's
not even clever. If you worked in an office
this disrespectful of everybody, you would
kill yourself in a week.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Maybe it's about time for me to try that free trial of Hulu and check out The Handmaid's Tale....
