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
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
Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com May 15
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
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
...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
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
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

Constantine E @TheSpectrolite 1h 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 amazing show best in the world See more Jonathan S @RT93801306 Jul 26 I am honestly flabbergasted at the low audience score! Was it perfect, no. Was it binge-worthy, hell yes. See more Jerry B @Jerry185 Jul 15 Fifteen painful minutes before it was too much. Not spoiling any plot, but the two master minds intriguingly work a ruse to get to a master bedroom, where one then goes to the basement where all his mates are waiting in a van. Like, duh. Why bother. If thats the intelligence level , then forget it. And I couldn't stop laughing at the females lips (or get money from kids to jump up and down on them). And, another reason for turning off, the reparted use of the N word during the so-called music . Don't give me that perjorative nonsense, its clearly 'good for me, but not for thee.' See more Jon C @RT35379209 Jul 8 Not great but very entertaining. Fast moving and while predictable still watchable See more lowskii B @RT55031076 Jun 27 Good movie, ending left me speechless, we need season 2 See more Read all reviews
