This scene is proof of why Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tony Hale were given their flowers for this show. While Selina and Gary have a weird relationship, they are so important to each other! I am enjoying my first time binge watch of Veep! #veep #selinameyer #garywalsh #julialouisdreyfus #tonyhale

I’m kind of confused how even in hell, full of demons and monsters and the worst, both Ozzie and Stolas are so hated for their queerness that they have literally episodes of tv dedicated to it...WHY IS BEING GAY SO HATED EVEN IN HELL?! #helluvaboss #hellaverse #stolitz #fizzmodeus #Igbtq

#SterlingPoint did what so many of the recent WLW shows have not. It broke the curse of being in renewal hell/canceled. Maybe this will signify the future of WLW representation on TV! We’ll see.
