Staged

Both David and Michael are phenomenal in Staged. Guests were wonderful surprise. Intelligent and brilliant show. I enjoyed all six episodes and really hope for some more episodes.

I was very dubious about series three and how they'd make it work post lockdown. I needn't have worried! From the start, you are taken down a roller coaster of fast paced humour with banter between the two leads heading in various directions. Have loved the development of all the characters over time. I watched open mouthed as I got to grips with twists and turns of the story, the pure humour and angst of what was reality and what wasn't. I have to admit I love not knowing who will pop up in the screen at any given time. Very, very clever writing and brilliant performances. The final episode was pure genius. Thank you!

I have laughed so hard at this show & smiled my biggest smiles. It is so clever & the portrayals are so unique & entertaining/endearing. Sorry for complimenting David a little more, as Michael is phenomenal, too, but I have seen David's serious roles & this show is such a new role for me to see him in. The guest stars have been so great, too. My husband died a couple of years ago very suddenly & I so wish he were here to watch this with me. Thank you all for the laughter that I get to experience from way down deep, a new personal best in belly laughs! I clicked on "Submit" and my review isn't long enough. Sadly I can't find the words to sufficiently express how much I enjoy and appreciate this wonderful creative work. The language I speak/write in does not have the words I need. I don't know if anyone connected to the show reads these reviews but the most important thing I want to convey is how much I thank you all for giving me some of my best laughs ever!

Pure comedic genius to take the lock down and life on 'zoom' and make it SO entertaining and funny to the point of . . yes . . . laughing out loud. Any bad reviews you may encounter would have to be written by folks either lacking a sense of humor or just don't get the cultural references. Look I am a yank and loved it , the British , stiff upper lip , stodginess and class consciousness not withstanding are , brilliant , as they say over there, at humor. Family life , work life, show business and the egos that come with it are all skewered without mercy and in a way that makes you #1 love the characters and #2 look forward to the next episode. Just can't imagine anything being more pertinent to the our lives during 'lockdown' and anymore entertaining. Solid eight stars , period.

I don't know whether it's because the isolation of shutdown/quarantine is so relatable, but I haven't laughed this hard in ages. David & Michael/Michael & David (IYKYK) were superb at nailing the experience. So much nuance & detail - I'm watching again to catch it all. I've always liked Tennant, but wasn't that familiar with Sheen - now huge fans of both.

Highly, highly recommend.
