Bait
Created by Riz Ahmed
On Prime Video
A darkly comedic, surreal miniseries that uses an actor's audition crisis as a gateway into existential dread and paranoid conspiracy, blending high-concept strangeness with intimate character study.
Shah Latif is a struggling actor on the cusp of landing the role of a lifetime, only to find himself thrust into a full blown existential crisis and trippy conspiracy thriller all at the same time.
