What to Know

Critics Consensus

Playing slow and steady with its cat-and-mouse game, Nemesis thrives on intensely committed performances, well-executed action sequences, and the ability to entertain with an assured absurdity that doesn't hinder its watchability.

Graeme Blundell The Australian Jun 8, 2026
Exploring obsession, family conflict, and a lot of moral ambiguity, the eight-episode crime drama delivers fast-paced action along with an engrossing examination of the relativity of good and evil. Go to Full Review

When it pops off, it’s entertaining, and your patience will ultimately be rewarded. Go to Full Review
Roxana Hadadi New York Magazine/Vulture May 14, 2026
Coltrane and Isaiah’s rivalry is ice-cold and entertaining as hell. It’s also just one piece of Nemesis’s radiant and textured mosaic, which arranges homage and archetype into something scorchingly original. Go to Full Review
Marlon Wallace The M Report (WBOC.com) Jul 2, 2026
...Isaiah's pursuit affects his personal and professional life. He even gets to a point that he's willing to cross the line and even commit criminal acts in order to stop these thieves. Go to Full Review
Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu Jun 9, 2026
Extraordinarily predictable and decidedly ludicrous, the shiny, LA-based crime thriller from Power’s Courtney A. Kemp gets marginally better as it goes along Go to Full Review
Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier May 29, 2026
Despite the speed at which the action is filmed, the dialogue and characterizations often bring it to a full stop. Not my cup of tea and assuredly not the expensive Burgundy they’re trying to sell. Go to Full Review

Johnny W @Johnnytwotoes87 Sep 1, 2026 Terrible writing makes its highly predictable, riddled with non stop plot holes, and just extremely unrealistic. Ballistics, traffic cams, etc. are non existent in a crime show. This should have been wrapped up by E3, but characters become dumber just to move the plot along. Extremly hard to get through and to keep watching takes serious effort. Put it on play in the background at best. Really no idea what they were going for or how/why Netflix would put this out. I guess just low standards. See more Paul J @laem0nt Aug 30, 2026 Honestly even with the B grade acting this show is wildly entertaining and you can not stop watching it. See more Antonio P @___AP___ Aug 29, 2026 Seeing the audience score I can see it’s not for everyone, but I personally really enjoyed the show from the visuals, to the actors, to the set pieces. Was a fun ride that i binged through pretty quickly. Is it going to be sweeping the Emmy’s? No, and I don’t think most of the positive reviews on the show are trying to even say that in the first place. However, it’s an entertaining and fun watch that was carried by I thought some good acting performances from the leads Matthew Law and Y’lan Noel. See more Constantine E @TheSpectrolite Aug 9, 2026 A gripping duel where the lines between law and crime blur, leaving you questioning whether the true nemesis is the man you're chasing, or the obsession chasing you. Great Cast. Interesting brains behind the Scripts and cameras too! See more Shazad M @RT03889417 Jul 28, 2026 amazing show best in the world See more Jonathan S @RT93801306 Jul 26, 2026 I am honestly flabbergasted at the low audience score! Was it perfect, no. Was it binge-worthy, hell yes. See more Read all reviews
