They vaguely want to use that power for some good—clean energy or education. But the actual ability to use or claim power continually eludes them. Where Veep falls short, then, is only in Louis-Dreyfuss’s smiling indifference to that fate...As in Seinfeld, life is an endless stream of annoyances and embarrassments, but you move on.
