Julia Louis-Dreyfus is Vice President of the United States Selina Meyer in Veep.

The HBO comedy TV show Veep: Season 1 follows the day-to-day triumphs and travails (mostly travails)—both professional and personal–of the Vice President of the United States, the ever-charismatic former Senator Selina Meyer, portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus (TV’s Seinfeld)

Created by England’s Armando Iannucci (In the Loop), the fast-moving, fast-talking television series features an excellent ensemble of co-stars, including Tony Hale (Arrested Development) as Gary, Meyer’s right-hand man; Anna Chlumsky (In the Loop) as Amy, her chief of staff; Matt Walsh (TV’s Hung) as Mike, her weathered spokesperson; Reid Scott (My Boys) as Dan, an ambitious political aide; and Timothy C. Simons (Days Together) as Jonah, a young and somewhat slimy White House liaison. But it’s Dreyfus, the winner of a 2012 Emmy Award for her role, who really makes it happen with her authoritative, spot-on delivery as the nation’s frequently frustrated #2 politico. My favorite line: When she’s advised to hit the publicity trail and meet some “real people,” Dreyfus’s Selina crisply and brilliantly replies, “I’ve met some people, real people and I gotta tell you; a lot of them are fucking idiots.” Great stuff.

The Blu-ray/DVD Combo edition of Veep: Season 1 is HBO’s branded “Blu-ray with HBO Select” package, which contains Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy versions of the program.
