In Game of Thrones, there’s more than enough manliness to go around. Battle cries, red meat…you get the idea. Now, HBO is balancing out the testosterone with two new female-led shows: Girls and Veep. Lena Dunham’s Girls premiered Sunday night, and is already being hailed as a witty, new-generation version of Sex and the City. In Veep, Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays Selina Meyer, a former senator who just took on a new job – Vice President of the United States (or VPOTUS, to use one of our favorite acronyms). Veep premiers next Sunday, April 22.
We’re excited for both of these shows, but the real question is: which is more TiVo-worthy? Two female-driven comedies: which will be more TiVo’d on Sunday? Will it be the Manhattan twenty-somethings, or the charming vice president? We’ll have the scoop next week after the premier of Veep. Stay tuned.
