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 3d
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 Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu 2d
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 Dustin Rowles Pajiba May 27
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Timothy E. @Tnice17 2d Absolutely love it. Please please make Season 2 movie is fire 🔥 🔥🔥🥤🍿 See more Mo P. @Mopal 2d Three stars for keeping me interested enough to finish the series. Would’ve been higher with a little more work on the story and some of the acting. See more Oluwatunmise A @RT96367976 4d Can’t recommend terrible acting See more Marcus R @RT20757842 4d Excellent storytelling and character development. This show ended PERFECTLY, I can see an entire universe developing. Courtney A. Kemp is really HER - its one thing to have success with Power (creator), but I believe this show had better acting and a more compelling storyline. Well done. See more Caleb H @RT06122577 4d Pretty overacted and stereotyped heavily. Had moments of entertainment but the theatrics are too unbelievable. The way people turn on each other or are easily convinced to make decisions. The characters mostly have zero critical thinking. The dramatics are too much and at times I found myself fast forwarding to the next scene. The action sequences are fun but other than that it becomes almost unwatchable by episode 6. See more X Y @190Xyz 4d Boring. Filled with tropes and stereotypes. Bad acting. See more Read all reviews
