Losing one's memory is a devastating hammer blow for anyone, but for Angelo, the stakes couldn't be higher. His hit man job would be perilous enough, but there's an added pressure: Angelo lives two totally separate lives -- fearsome NYC hitman, and sleepy upstate Cooperstown photocopier salesman and father. Having built and maintained a brick wall between his two worlds, Angelo has seamlessly juggled and compartmentalized for years. But now that's all about to change, because Alzheimer's is a foe he can't outrun, and he knows too well how this ends, as his older brother is already lost to the condition.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 4h
2/5
...the tenson is oddly bland and Dempsey is not suited to the professional killer role, especially when paired with Sopranos star Michael Imperioli as Angelo’s handler. Go to Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today Jan 27
2.5/4
Without actors as talented and charming as Dempsey and Imperioli, it would be entirely forgettable. Their powerful, charismatic presence, however, suggest this is worth sticking with beyond the two-night premiere. Go to Full Review Alison Herman Variety Jan 26
A disappointingly flat take on its inherited premise. Angelo may be a killer, but the show he leads sure isn’t. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 8h
3/5
This dark and somewhat bland double-life thriller offers an improbable but mildly entertaining narrative that centers on the evolving tension between Angelo Doyle's two lives. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media Jan 28
C-
Memory of a Killer‘s bifurcated identities – introspective family drama and hitman thriller – struggle to coalesce, making the Patrick Dempsey-led adaptation feel like a very sleek, sterilized, and flat drama just begging for a sense of personality. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Jan 27
We still think that Memory Of A Killer has the potential to go in directions other thrillers haven’t, simply because of the cognitive decline Dempsey’s character will be suffering through. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Aimee T. @tarteinvestments 9h Eh…just kind of boring. See more Megan C @MeganMC 14h I actually really enjoy this show. It’s different than any other show on TV right now. See more Joe W @JoeWasik 1d It's got that allround made-for-tv quality. See more Cindy F. @Cfriese1112 2d I like this drama series so far. Patrick Dempsey is good at what he does. Alzheimer’s something all families can relate to even if you are a hit man. I’ll keep watching and hope it keeps my interest. So far so good. See more Dawn M. @AnnapolisLassie 3d The first two episodes were not bad to watch over a snow day. See more Samuil L 4d Quite exiting so far See more Read all reviews
