We wake up early morning to watch, along with the rest of the world, our beloved <\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/game-of-thrones-powerful-women\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> be butchered live on our video-streaming devices. We watch with fear as each episode cements the realisation that the magic the show promises isn\u2019t in the dragons or in Bran\u2019s ability to warg or any such thing, but in the instantly vanishing character arcs and over-exaggerated theatrics. With a swish and a flick, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> changed faces, lost its charm and character, and became \u201cno-one\u201d.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the technical faults the show now seems bent on displaying week after week are legitimate reasons for our collective disappointment in the show\u2019s final season, but more than that we fear that we\u2019re leaving behind a show that\u2019s stripping itself of any <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/culture\/library-e-books-social-media-nostalgia\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nostalgia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it may have bottled up inside of us all these years. We have already begun to forget <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and that is the existential dread we face every Monday morning when we see absurd plotline after plotline jump through gaping plothole after plothole.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a funny thing about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/in-memory-of-friends-1990-documentary-1984-pogrom-sikhs-india\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">memory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and art that will be remembered. It\u2019s the loudest, of course, that stretches across pages of history books, but sometimes it is through sheer quality that certain things endure.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week, quietly slipping through the cracks and gently exiting our screens was arguably the most incisive political satire our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/avengers-endgame-mcu-marvel\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">generation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has seen, and inarguably the greatest resource for creative use of swear language <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">any <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">generation has ever seen \u2013 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As political satires go, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veep <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pressed the point that politics isn\u2019t the scheming and plotting that so many of us believe it to be. It\u2019s a field full of dunderheads like you and I, tripping and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/satire\/mamata-accidentally-laughing-meme\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stumbling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> their way in and out of power. It was a critique on the image of politicians and the auras they shine, bringing them down to the Earth and laying bare the worst parts of politics. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was often terrifying, but not because of a man in power rubbing his hands together and deviously laughing, but because these were characters we could actually relate to.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last Monday, as King\u2019s Landing turned into a literal metaphor of the dropping writing standards in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> team, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> delivered a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/who-called-it-the-indian-science-congress-and-not-a-gathering-of-whatsapp-uncles\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spectacular<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> series finale. It hit the right emotional beats, delivered a scathing, searing critique of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/politics\/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-narendra-modi-texas-india\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">modern-day American politics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, brought out the best from its team of phenomenal actors, and tied its seven-season long storyline to a logical end \u2013 all while being laugh out loud hilarious.<\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">Veep did not distinguish between Politician and People, but it did distinguish between those with power and those without.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite having the legendary Julia-Louis Dreyfus (in what was by far the most exciting role on television in the past decade) front and centre, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was never the cultural juggernaut the way a lot of other HBO shows are, nor did it seem like that was its aim. If <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was the cultural landmark of the 2010s, Veep was the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/politics\/kolkata-clashes-tryst-violence\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">political<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and linguistic one, something literature could pick up and even teach as an entirely separate course.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the core of Veep\u2019s narrative was language. Created by Armando Iannuci (who adapted it from his own British original <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Thick of It<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), there existed a certain joy in the language that characters spoke to each other with; a flair and flourish that looked more like a dance than a talkie. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a show written almost entirely as insult comedy, but each <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/zomato-rider-reaction-twitter-delivery-boy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jibe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> somehow managed to take the narrative forward. Each character had their own manner of abuse, which matured or collapsed specific to certain events that unfolded on the show. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And in that lay the show\u2019s genius. Films and shows about politics before <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> seemed to project an image of The Politician as a figure separate from The People. Even if they attempted to portray a \u201chuman side\u201d to the politician, the character\u2019s humanity was seen as \u201cvulnerability\u201d only for the purpose of furthering the idea of the politician\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/apna-time-aayega-privileged-india-gully-boy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">characterisation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of power \u2013 that he\/she was human only made him\/her less so. Be it <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">West Wing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/house-of-cards-without-kevin-spacey\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">House of Cards<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and even the politicking of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Politician or the Leader is assigned that role and the narrative of the show revolves around fitting into those shoes. And the snugger the fit, the farther away from humanity you stray.<\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> did not distinguish between Politician and People, but it did distinguish between those with power and those without. Each relationship on the show was explicitly dictated by power \u2013 man and woman, superior and inferior, president and vice president, white and black. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/grieve-end-of-a-relationship-no-name-on-paper\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relationships<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> between characters changed because of a change in power dynamic, but the characters remained firmly rooted in a reality recognisable to us.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over and above all of this, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was also an indictment of democracy as a system of governance. It didn\u2019t offer up any alternatives or solutions, but it made you aware of the fact that the system is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/how-i-broke-up-with-the-perfect-sabyasachi-wedding-saree\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">broken<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, not damaged externally but is so by design. And it\u2019s amazing that a show slamming democracy and unpacking what it means to be a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/game-of-thrones-powerful-women\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">woman in power<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was also as hilarious as it was.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the year 2019 when politics is constantly challenging actual satire, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veep<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stood out because it wasn\u2019t really making fun of politics. It was showing you exactly what it is \u2013 plain, simple, and absolutely stupid. It has all the drama of regular office politics, but what makes it stressful is the stakes. You not liking your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/office-it-department-enemy-coworkers-workplaces\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">co-worker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may lead to a poor appraisal, but in politics something like that could lead to a drone strike in Iraq. The language of communication though is the same.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> taking over pop-culture landscapes this week, we must pay our respects to Veep. A show like no other, and a show that may not have an equal, but more importantly a show of its time. One that may have been seen as a little too <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/mamata-memes-freedom-expression\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cynical<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if put out earlier, but pitch and tone-perfect for our fairly half-witted generation.
