The Take
Nemesis is a watchable but unremarkable Netflix crime drama that recycles the cop-versus-master-thief formula with competent execution and little else. The eight-episode season stays afloat on tight heist sequences and two committed leads rather than fresh ideas or deeper character work.
The Verdict
The cat-and-mouse game clicks in spots thanks to escalating heists and the leads' investment, yet the series never escapes mid-tier Netflix territory. Overacting and familiar beats blunt any real tension.
Skip it unless the premise grabs you in the first episode.
