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.

Kelly Lawler USA Today 19h
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 23h
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
Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 23h
This is the sort of show that inevitably strains credulity as it goes along. If the suspension of disbelief becomes oppressive within three minutes, that’s not a story I want to invest in long-term. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 2h
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
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 23h
It's a lot, but to his credit, Dempsey does an admirable job balancing the competing storylines and personalities. Go to Full Review

Rebecca S @Beccaj871 2h I like the story line. It is something different; loving the action and awareness to a devastating illness. I will continue watching this series. See more Rich L. @Richard810 23h Dempsey never disappoints. See more Scott B @sburke802 23h Okay average show that is ruined with commercials every 5 minutes. Shows like this need to be streamed without commercials. Not a fan of who was picked to play some of the smaller parts. The daughter and her loser husband are TERRIBLE! Michael Imperioli as the Boss is miscast in my opinion. Patrick Dempsey is just ok in his role but hard to believe. If the show didn't have 10,000 Stupid Medical Commercials it would be a Good Watch. See more Marius G @Marius7 1d Second tier series, I don't see a second season being released. See more P C @Pauliiiiii 1d This was rough to watch…Dempsey should stick to Doctoring… See more Roney E @Roney313 1d Patrick Dempsey is a world class actor and the show it’s pretty decent, hope to see more episodes , but so far so good.
