Bait - Comments & Tips
was hoping it would be similar to Man Like Mobeen, but not even close :/
was good, but felt like too much, didn't feel natural. Felt like they were trying to fit in everything in 20min episodes, basic diaspora cultural things (biryani, chai, rickshaw,etc), neon lighting, cinematic shots, a symbolic figure (the pig), inner voice narration, etc. The tiktok clip-ification of films, but can't hate, it's riz ahmed. Just should've been longer and slower.
The pilot was fun, but it got less engaging as it went on. The broader plot was more generic drama, with some bizarre stuff going on that didn't really add to the plot. I like Riz Ahmed a lot but unfortunately the show didn't build or improve as it went on.
