If you're a fan of Michael Mann's Heat and its many, many descendants, then you might be into Netflix's Nemesis, an action-packed high series.

It's co-created by Courtney A. Kemp, the mastermind behind Stars' hit franchise power, and it's about the blurry lines between criminality and the law.

Stylized set pieces, double crosses, relationship issues, daddy issues. This show has a lot

going on, but it all goes down smoothly enough. I'm Aisha Harris, and today we're talking about

nemesis on Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.

Joining me today is Vulture TV critic, Roxanna Hadadi.

Hey, Roxanna.

Hey, thank you for having me on for this.

Also with us as a journalist and host of the movie review podcast seated, Trebel Anderson.

Hello, Trevelle.

Hello, hello.

Yay. I'm so excited to talk about this with both of you.

So Nemesis stars Matthew Law as Isaiah Stiles, an LAPD detective chasing his white whale,

an elusive crew of skilled robbers who killed his partner in a shootout during a heist.

He's convinced the same crew has been responsible for a string of recent big-time

robberies, but is having trouble jitting up support for this theory amongst his colleagues.

Of course, he'll stop at nothing to prove the pattern and nail these guys.

The Beverly Hills robbery, it fits the pattern. We've been to this before, Isaiah,

there's no pattern. No pattern is the pattern, Jimmy. Four perps, at least two of them black.

They hit high-end, high-level targets changing their MO every time so that we don't connect

them.
