Is "Death of Stalin" watchable? (lemmygrad.ml)

Apparently it is available on Hulu which I happen to have. I wouldn’t go out of my way to watch it, but it would be extremely convenient now. So I don’t think for one second that Hulu would host anything which is even remotely praising of Stalin, but I’m wondering if it is at least tolerable for a socialist viewer. Is there any historical accuracy at all? Does humor and entertainment outweigh the ideological position of capitalist Hollywood at all? Will I just get mad if I watch it, or can I enjoy it in the sense that no western media will ever do justice to the history of the USSR and its ok to laugh a little?

I think you can appreciate it for the dark comedy and chadly Zhukov. Definitely worth a watch, even if you want to to a liberal prop drinking game/bingo while watching it
