Right now, Staged is on Amazon Prime Video and several other platforms, sitting at 8/10 on TMDB. Consistently well-regarded, and easy to understand why once you start watching.

British production values give Staged a feel distinct from American and international alternatives. David Tennant and Michael Sheen (playing themselves) were due to star in a production of 'Six Characters in Search of an Author' in the West End. The pandemic has put an end to that, but their director (Simon Evans) is determined not to let the opportunity pass them by. David Tennant and Michael Sheen lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 3 seasons (2020–2022), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. Staged respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
