Veep vs. The West Wing

Which political TV show is better: Veep or The West Wing? Hosted by Ronald Young Jr.

Which political TV show is better: Veep or The West Wing? Two familiar voices square off this week, with former host Aminatou Sow returning to argue on behalf of Veep and previous guest Hrishikesh Hirway taking the side of The West Wing. This is not going to be an easy decision for new host Ronald Young Jr to make! Aminatou says that recent political headlines prove that Veep is a realistic portrayal of American politics, warts and all, while The West Wing is a liberal fantasy. Hrishi contends that The West Wing wasn鈥檛 meant to be realistic and was rather an incredibly entertaining TV show, and that Veep鈥檚 satire became too biting to be enjoyable. Which show will Ronald cast his vote for?
