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

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

MrPeligroso88 T @RT41272329 4h At first I was sucked in by the name of the show and the hype, but the acting of Isaiah is actually terrible and the writing of the show is slow and clunky. It had the budget to be a great show, but didn’t execute. See more James T @RT84449894 7h Wow the acting is really bad, and the story has to be 90% AI. It’s worth a watch, just for a laugh. See more Pablo E P @RT45287330 7h Truly a masterpiece can’t wait for season 2, those who says they dont like it, they are bots can’t wait for season 2. The action, the way how they portray the "vilain" is different love it! See more Justin P @RT94040783 8h This was an absolute masterpiece. Do not listen to these other people at all. They are just haters. I loved it and it was amazing. I almost cried. See more Jay G @jaygoose 10h The show had a lot of potential. There were some interesting and creative twists, great actor choices, and compelling story ideas. But it was SO disjointed, especially after the first couple of episodes, and bizarrely rushed to the point of leaving one questioning the purpose of several events, as they never seemed to tie back to the story in any way. It was seemingly unmitigated chaos by the end— and not in a way you expect from the drama-suspense of a crime show. It didn’t all seem to come together— characters seemed to alter without explanation, the filming was a mess, and a band of spa employees kidnapped a woman from a hospital? Having four directors over 8 eps doesn’t seem ideal. See more JT T @RT80819538 10h Third episode and on , this show turnt all the way UP !! 🧨💥💥🧨🔥🔥 Holy Crap, this is soooo good!
