The Death of Stalin, from the creator Veep, is hilarious. It is so witty and sharp. The funniest thing about it is how ridiculously realistic it is. We can imagine that all these crazy things could've farcically happened in the Soviet Union. They are preposterous situations that are simultaneously terrifying and funny. I actually laughed out loud on the plane. Steve Buscemi and Jeffrey Tambor have the perfect demeanor for political satire. The opening scene in which they must re-stage a performance they forgot to record for Stalin is brilliant.
