Hamlet Visually and atmospherically, Hamlet is immersive, even hypnotic. But the play’s the thing, and here, too much has been left in the wings. Aneil Karia’s version is less feast, more tasting menu.…

The Subversive Brilliance of Riz Ahmed's "Bait" Riz Ahmed shines in "Bait" exactly because he is believable both as the next James Bond, and as the struggling actor fighting to be seen.

#Bait is excellent work from the very amazing #RizAhmed

Riz Ahmed's Bait Almost Convinced Me He Could Be James Bond (And That’s Not Even the Point) Bait is not a James Bond show. It uses 007 as a lure and then pulls you somewhere completely different. Somewhere messier, funnier, and surprisingly emotional.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Bait (2026)
Creator: Riz Ahmed
Dir: Bassam Tariq, Tom George

✍️A beautiful meditation on British-Muslim identities; juxtaposed with depictions of spiralling mental illness, and an electrifying performance from Riz.

Watch this! I'm not baiting ya.
