Netflix's new crime thriller Nemesis has stormed to the number two spot on the platform's UK TV chart, despite a mixed critical reception. Created by Power's Courtney A. Kemp and Tani Marole, the eight-part series follows an LAPD cop and a career criminal locked in a tense cat-and-mouse game after a daring heist in Los Angeles.
The show stars Matthew Law as Lieutenant Isaiah Stiles and Y'lan Noel as Coltrane Wilder. While critics have awarded it a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score sits at just 49%. Nevertheless, fans have taken to social media to praise the series, with many binge-watching the first season and calling for a second.
One viewer said: 'Kept me engaged and not sure whose side I was on. Binge watched twice. I need season 2.' Another added: 'Love it!!! Courtney does it again!!! can't wait for season 2!!!' On IMDb, a fan described it as 'a masterpiece' and expressed hope for a renewal.
Netflix has not yet confirmed a second season, but co-creator Marole told Decider that he and Kemp 'have an arc in mind' for a follow-up. He urged fans to boost viewing numbers, saying: 'We need the numbers to go up so we can get a renewal.'
