Is Netflix’s latest crime thriller actually better than HBO Max’s messiest reality drama, or are we all just pretending to understand what’s happening on screen? Honey, buckle up because The Black Watch just served us a piping hot plate of streaming drama that has entertainment experts absolutely LOSING IT.
So apparently Netflix dropped Nemesis, and darling, it’s giving criminal mastermind energy with some seriously questionable character choices that even Coltrane himself would be jealous of. Meanwhile, HBO Max comes through with DTF St. Louis—and yes, we’re talking about the kind of chaos that makes you wonder if these people have ever heard of a camera or shame. The Black Watch decided to compare these two absolute TRAINWRECKS, and the results? Chef’s kiss level of messy.
According to entertainment experts weighing in on this battle royale, we’re dealing with some serious storytelling debates here. Nemesis is apparently serving up murder mysteries wrapped in criminal schemes with layers of acting talent that’ll make your head spin. But DTF St. Louis? Oh honey, that’s pure unfiltered chaos served without the filter, without the plot armor, and definitely without anyone’s agent present to say ‘maybe don’t do that.’
The acting chops on display in Nemesis are getting praise for actually making you BELIEVE these characters would commit heinous crimes, which is honestly the bare minimum but apparently something DTF St. Louis skipped entirely. One expert literally said the character depth in Nemesis is ‘chef’s kiss,’ while another basically roasted DTF St. Louis for having the character development of a reality TV confessional (because it IS one, sweetie).
Fans are absolutely DIVIDED on which show deserves the crown. Twitter is having a meltdown trying to decide if they want prestige television or pure unhinged entertainment. Some people are defending the dramatic storytelling of Nemesis with their whole chest, while others are like ‘give me the messy reality chaos and let me live vicariously through dysfunction, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.’
The Black Watch really said ‘let’s examine both of these very different animals and see which one breaks the internet harder,’ and honestly? We’re here for the carnage. Both shows have people clicking, streaming, and absolutely losing their minds in group chats everywhere.
What do you think? A) Nemesis’s dramatic acting and murder mysteries are SUPERIOR B) DTF St. Louis’s unfiltered chaos is peak entertainment
