any good recs?
Poll: What did you make of Riz Ahmed's new series Bait?
Tell us in this week’s Best of the Box poll.
ACTOR RIZ AHMED spent 10 years working on Bait, his new Prime Video series about an actor who is in the running to play James Bond.
The series takes a dark, humorous look at what it’s like to be a Pakistani Londoner in the acting business, with the lead character Shah played by Ahmed himself.
In our Best of the Box review we said:
Bait is less about the big question it appears to be about – could a Muslim actor be hired to play James Bond – than about the pressures on Shah across career and family, and his inability to balance it all.
But have you seen Bait yet, and if so what did you think of it?
