"Nemesis" is pitched by Netflix as a series that "aims to subvert the heist genre at every turn" and a series that's "amped with thrilling life-or-death stakes, family dynamics and explosive action [that] actually gives birth to an exploration of what drives us, sustains us, and ultimately destroys us."Ultimately, the show is a story of two men on the opposite sides of the law who are locked in a power play for the ages: criminal mastermind Coltrane Wilder (Y'lan Noel), and Detective Isaiah Stiles (Matthew Law), a brilliant police detective.In addition to Law and Noel, "Nemesis" also stars Gabrielle Dennis, Cleopatra Coleman, Cedric Joe, Moe Irvin, Ariana Guerra, Stephanie Sigman, Mike O'Malley, Sophina Brown, Tre Hale, Jonnie "Dumbfoundead" Park and Quincy Isaiah (among others).Okay, so what are people saying about 'Nemesis?'
