When did Veep jump the shark? 🦈

Season 5, Episode 1

Veep's decline began with the start of Season 5, following the departure of series creator Armando Iannucci. The shift in tone and style was noticeable as the new showrunner, David Mandel, took over. While still critically acclaimed, some fans felt the series lost its original sharpness and wit, relying more on broader comedy and less on the political satire that defined its earlier seasons.
