PLOT:
"Politics is about people," former Sen. Selina Meyer is fond of saying. Unfortunately, the people Meyer, a charismatic leader and rising star in her party, meets after becoming vice president are nothing like she expected, but everything she was warned about. "Veep" follows the new VP as she puts out political fires, juggles her public schedule and private life, and does everything within her limited powers to improve her dysfunctional relationship with the chief executive. Meyer's trusted -- and some not-so-trusted -- aides include chief of staff Amy, spokesperson Mike, secretary Sue and right-hand man Gary.
season 1 -
Vice President Selina Meyer wants to make the implementation of a Clean Jobs Commission her main legacy, but problems occur when a Tweet from a staffer annoys the plastics industry; Selina makes an offensive joke at a fundraiser, and her Chief of Staff forgetfully signs her own name on a condolence card for the wife of a senator who just died. Dan becomes a member of Meyer's team. A health scare temporarily allows VP Meyer to be commander-in-chief but delays her plan for a media meet-and-greet at the local yogurt store, showcasing a flavor named after her. She arrives to find only melting vanilla, stray bloggers, and some angry store owners. Also, a stomach bug goes around Capitol Hill. The VP and her team discover that her appointee for the Clean Jobs Commission is unacceptable. Selina celebrates 20 years in Washington, D.C., but tries to keep a low profile after a newspaper article paints her as a diva and rumors float about her feud with the First Lady. Meanwhile, Selina's college-age daughter arrives for a visit, and is surprised that her mother is looking for a dog but appalled by her reaction to "Selina" being on the list of names for hurricanes. Following an interview on Meet the Press, a slip of the tongue by Selina is misconstrued as a racist dig at one of her political rivals. The VP and her team go into recovery mode, trying to take the spotlight off Selina by visiting the sick and injured at a local hospital. Gary and Amy make a startling discovery about Selina's romantic life. Bloggers' nicknames for Selina become her next obsession; Dan goes on a fact-finding mission after his boss is snubbed by the president which includes spending time with Jonah; it's make-or-break time for the Clean Jobs bill. Selina hosts a conference to promote healthy eating at Baltimore's Camden Yards baseball park, but her pitch is balked at by some foul-tempered fast-food executives. Selina also confides a secret to Amy concerning Ted. Meanwhile, Mike holds a press briefing for local reporters, and Amy and Dan do their best to entertain students at an elementary school before the vice president arrives. Selina discovers she is pregnant. With the Veep and her staff taking flack over a pregnancy rumor and the firing of the smiling Secret Service Agent, Selina, who had a miscarriage, orders a 'partial' full disclosure release of all office correspondence. Later, Selina dispatches Dan to make sure the Macauley Amendment (i.e. the toxic Clean Jobs bill) cannot be traced back to her. And with the perception growing that her office is increasingly non-functioning, Selina threatens to fire a key staffer. Also Ted and Selina break up via Gary.
