Bait Review 2026 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
Lucky enough to see the first three episodes at Sundance. Riz Ahmed introduced the show. It is a comedy, and episode 1 is the funniest. The Bond/media hype premise is great and the insecurity spiral feels painfully believable. Episode 2 is weirder and didn’t totally work for me. But episode 3 really got to me.
There’s an Eid family gathering scene that feels specific and real; warmth and tension at the same time, people fighting and still showing up for one another. I’m South Asian (not Muslim) and it hit me in a way I wasn’t expecting. I actually got a little emotional at the end.
It feels like Riz is putting his vulnerabilities on screen in an honest way. Not perfectly even, but original and honest. I’m in and will definitely watch the rest when it releases widely. Oh and the cast, especially the Guz Khan and Sheena are terrific.
