Bait, a new series streaming on Amazon Prime, was written by Riz Ahmed, who stars in the show as well. It follows a struggling London actor (Ahmed) whose last shot at stardom sends his life into a four-day tailspin. What begins as a familiar industry satire and showbiz fever dream quickly spirals into something darker (and cringier). The six-episode series is as anxiety-inducing and electric as the audition process it skewers. —Carolina de Armas
