This show has not aged well at all. It depicts American politicians as well-meaning public servants rather than deranged corrupt Epstein clients. Was it regime propaganda, /tv/?
>>221248983buddy house of cards hasn't aged wellpolitical dramas have a shelf life that's competitive with lobster
>>221248983"Government is a place where people can come together"This is what Aaron Sorkin believes.
>>221248983A.there is nothing deranged about having fun on an island, and B.it was a different time. People used to dress up to fly on airplanes
>>221248983>>221249047Veep aged perfectly. If anything it's only gotten more accurate.
>>221249172Eh the stuff they’re freaking out about in seasons 1-5 are like absolute nothings in today’s political ecosystem
>>221248983Obviously. Aaron Sorkin is the biggest establishment shill on the planet.
>>221249193But the flailing, asinine bullshit and ass-covering is on point. They just didn't have gigahawks starting wars everywhere and bullying Europe.
>>221249218Sorkin thinks people want to watch fast-talking cakeeaters who let you know about their prestigious university degrees at every chance they get.
>>221249519> cakeeatersMarie never said it, and if she did she meant the leftovers from the process of bread baking (called cake). It was less a “rich people are out of touch” sound bite and more of a “rich people don’t give a fuck” sound bite at the timeSorry I have autis
>>221249573"cake-eater" is a euphemism for a superfluous bureaucrat.
>>221249088>kills "suspected" terrorists with impunity>lies to entire country about his terminal illness>fucking the thick bitch from Grease the whole time>kills leo at the age of 125 by forcing him to run for officewas he based?
Yes. Aaron Sorkin is a fucking hack. The Chapo Traphouse guys did some pretty good review podcasts about his shows. Fucking insufferable tripe.
>>221248983Yes at the time it was merely an overly optimistic portrayal of politics but now it might as well be an alternate timeline like The Man In The High Castle.
>>221248983West Wing is at least optimistic and fair, to a certain extent. As bullshit as that may be. THIS piece of shit literally has zero Republican good guys including war veteran Will Graham from Manhunter who tries to save somebody's life at the start which turns out to be a bullshit twist. Gary Oldman plays "Sheldon Runyon" who accused Joan Allen of, wait for it, getting plowed at an orgy.
