Prime Video’s latest six-part black comedy, Bait, starts off like a humorous portrait of an aspiring actor having the worst week of his life after a bad audition. But as the episodes roll on easily across 30 minutes, it opens itself up to something much deeper. In the new series from Academy Award winner Riz Ahmed, Bait follows Shah Latif, a struggling actor whose shot at a career-changing role as James Bond sends everything around him into chaos — family pressure, public scrutiny, old wounds, and his own spiraling sense of self.
