*Staged* is a British comedy series that captures the unique absurdity of life during the COVID-19 lockdown. The show stars actors David Tennant and Michael Sheen, who play hilariously exaggerated versions of themselves. They are supposed to be rehearsing a play over video calls, but their sessions quickly devolve into procrastination, petty arguments, and witty banter. The series cleverly blurs the line between fiction and reality, with appearances from their real-life families and a host of surprise celebrity guests. It’s a sharp, funny look at friendship and frustration when the whole world is stuck at home. The show has ended, but sign up for a reminder just in case it returns to our screens for another act.
