Nemesis

A layered, propulsive series exemplifying the energy and dynamism that keeps the cops-and-robbers genre so appealing. It’s a shot of pure adrenaline and hell-yeah vigor followed up with a chaser of pathos and longing, and it’s one of the best new series Netflix has released this year.

“Nemesis” asks its viewers a long-standing question: “What will the total annihilation of another cost you?” .... With all of its intense cliffhangers and sexy sequences, it’s still incredibly fun to watch Isiah and Coltrane find out what the answer is.

There is a lot about Nemesis that’s clunky and cliche. But we liked the performances of both Law and Noel, and we hope that the complexity of both of their characters’ lives will be explored with more depth as the series goes along.

Nemesis is a soapy serialized thriller that embraces its emotional excesses and occasional detours of narrative ludicrousness. Some of those story choices and character decisions irritated me, and the less than ideal central casting proved a frequent liability, but I never found Nemesis to be anything less than pulpy and entertaining.

“Nemesis” hits some speed bumps, mainly with pacing, important plot development and overly familiar storylines from other popular TV shows and films. Fortunately, it makes key recoveries that reward those who keep watching. What it can’t fix, however, is who to root for.

Nemesis is still enjoyable and offers some unforgettable action sequences with daring performances; it just needs some more fine-tuning to pull off the perfect heist.

A pretty low-“Power” affair.

I really wanted to like Nemesis because the concept had potential, but the execution just didn’t hit for me. The biggest issue was Matthew Law’s performance. A lot of the emotional scenes felt forced, almost like he was reading emotions instead of actually feeling them. His facial expressions rarely matched the intensity of the situations, which made some of the dramatic moments come across as fake and **** a crime thriller, you need actors who can pull you into the tension and make you believe every reaction. Unfortunately, too many scenes felt stiff and awkward, and it took me out of the story constantly. The supporting cast tried to carry the weight, but the lack of believable emotional depth from the lead made the entire show feel less authentic than it should have **** the worst show ever, but definitely one of those series where the acting keeps you from getting fully invested.

Tem que ter uma autoestima muito elevada e fora de qualquer autocrítica para achar que queremos ver, de bom grado, a continuação disso aqui. Roteiro forçadíssimo, e um policial muito mal escrito, com atuações dignas de pena. Com pouca ação, e deixando para o último episódio a adrenalina represada, termina com pontas soltas e muitos bocejos. Não, Sra Netflix, obrigado.

I have a suspicion that AI wrote this show. The amount of exposition is wild and makes for very awkward dialogue, but it makes sense if you look at it through an algorithmic lens. I tried this show out because I saw that it was getting really high reviews, but now I'm also suspicious of these reviews. This is my crazy theory: Netflix is testing out an AI-written show and is paying reviewers to rate it highly, or those high reviews are coming from AI bots made by Netflix. That being said, I only made it halfway through the first episode, so I understand my opinion isn't credible for the whole season. I just don't know how it could truly get better. I don't know if a show can ever make up for such a lazy start.

Wow this series is bad. Overacting, horrible writing, fluff stuffed all over to chew up time. I dig heist movies/series but the heist was in the back seat the entire time with dramatic BS riding shotgun. Matthew Law is terrible in this, felt like evey scene he only had 1 ****.

Despite the truly atrocious acting, absurd writing, and tired story line, for some reason Hollywood critics fall on their knees for this inconsequential TV show. I wonder why they feign adoration for this clearly awful production? Are they obtuse, or are they motivated by other reasons? Hmm I can't imagine. We laughed at all this and turned the show off after about 30 minutes. It's all just hilarious.
