Is Riz Ahmed’s ‘Bait’ a Not-So-Subtle James Bond Audition? Maybe
Description
Riz Ahmed wants to make "category killers" — and ‘Bait,’ his new Prime Video series about a London actor faking a James Bond audition, is exactly that. He sits down with Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott to talk about the show's wild tonal range, why being brown in the West can feel like living in a spy thriller, and whether ‘Bait’ is, as he puts it, his James Bond audition. Not saying it is, not saying it isn't.
