Staged review
After a languid set-up in the first episode, things do pick up a bit in the second which might help Staged succeed for those seeking mild entertainment away from the intensity of the news. But it feels like an understudy for a comedy show rather than the real thing.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 10th June 2020TV review: Staged, BBC One
This isn't quite as gripping as I hoped but then I was disappointed by the first episode of the last series of The Trip and that turned out to be brilliant.

British Comedy Guide, 22nd May 2020Good Omens review
Despite some hammy special effects and occasional overwriting, Neil Gaiman's epic six-parter zings with wit, wisdom and heaven-sent casting.
Flora Carr, Radio Times, 5th February 2020More backstory for Michael Sheen's prissy angel, Aziraphale, and David Tennant's louche demon, Crowley, as this adaptation of the Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett novel continues. From Noah's ark to the crucifixion, the pair have plenty of shared history. This series has proved as inventive as its provenance suggests.
Phil Harrison, The Guardian, 29th January 2020Good Omens review
Would Terry Pratchett have been happy with the result? I imagine he would certainly have laughed. And that would be entirely down to Michael Sheen as the blond, fluffy-haired angel Aziraphale and David Tennant as the snake-eyed devil's demon Crowley, hiding his terrifying irises with sunglasses.
