A bit late, but I binge-watched season 5 yesterday – brilliant! I love that it hasn’t lost steam and there are no sappy redemption moments for the (largely) awful characters.

Jonad Files: Supercalifragilistic . . . Dickcheese!  
Sue: there are no words to describe. Everything out of her mouth is comedy gold.

Will Gregory House M.D. become prez?

Season 4.

My favourite insult directed at Jonad in that episode was “The Cloud Botherer”, for some reason. It just made me laugh.

I heard that Armando Iannucci is moving on, but if the rest of the team stay on, I’m hopeful that Season 5 will be just as good.

Julia Louise-Dreyfus is just so great in this, in fact, it’s just a great, great cast all round really.

While I dearly love all the vicious rapid-fire sarcasm the characters share among themselves, I often find myself fast-forwarding over scenes in which Meyer has to speak in public. The cringe-factor is simply too high for me.
