Nemesis is Courtney A. Kemp’s first series with Netflix, following her success creating the Power universe for Starz.

Matthew Law stars as Isaiah Stiles, an LAPD detective whose obsession with catching Coltrane has destroyed his marriage and family. Debuting on May 14th, Nemesis quickly gained popularity, earning a 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and reaching the third spot on Netflix’s Global TV chart within a week.
