Summary

If you’re a fan of the movie Heat , then you might be into Netflix’s new action-packed heist series Nemesis . Co-created by Courtney A. Kemp ( Power) , it’s about the blurry lines between criminality and the law, and follows an LAPD detective (Matthew Law) chasing an elusive crew of robbers and its ringleader (Y’lan Noel). The show has a lot going on – stylized set pieces, double-crosses, relationship issues, daddy issues – but it all goes down smoothly enough.
