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.

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 Jack Seale Guardian May 14
4/5
The occasional moments of comedy show that Nemesis knows how absurd it needs to be. And because it judges its own chaos levels perfectly, it’s ridiculously entertaining. Go to Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier 1d
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 Dustin Rowles Pajiba 3d
I might have been able to overlook some of those inadequacies -- or at least appreciate the Gerard Butler-movie-grade action sequences for what they are -- if the show weren’t so wildly overstuffed, overlong, and predictable in its twists and tragedies.

This series is a promising yet clunkily paced cat-and-mouse game. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Bernard T @Btorres 8h Very good police show estreiou will get trap inside right at the beginner See more Dionna F @RT49497963 9h I can’t wait for season 2! 😮‍💨 See more The H @RT16153642 1d One of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. I cannot wait to see season two I hope they come out with a season two with the same characters it was lit.fir🔥 🔥 See more John E. @evanjohg123 2d Far too cliched with cable network overtones See more ahtx512 T @RT67043754 3d I watched the whole season. I made an RT account just to post this. The writing is dog shit. Don't waste your time See more Eniola O @RT21913461 3d The movie had real action, but it felt unnecessarily dragged out. There were too many scenes that didn’t really add anything or impact the story in a meaningful way. In my opinion, it should have ended after the first season. The second season already feels like it’s just stretching the story out for no real reason, which makes me worry it’s going to continue dragging on. See more Read all reviews
