There’s no denying that 007 is one of Britain’s most well-renowned IPs, with the action-thriller movie franchise spanning 64 years and counting. Since Daniel Craig handed in his licence to kill, Amazon Prime Video has taken over to herald the secret service agent into his new era. In his new six-episode show, Bait, Riz plays fictional British Pakistani Muslim actor Shah Latif, who has the opportunity of a lifetime – auditioning for the man of the hour, James Bond (surprise, surprise). As Shah’s life starts to spin out of control, we tackle the identity politics at the heart of this plot. Bait is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
