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) Feb 3
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 Pachi Laurino EscribiendoCine Feb 25
8/10
More than just an action vehicle, [the series] is Dempsey's attempt to redefine his acting range and finally break free from the television shadow that made him an icon. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Feb 3
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 Read all reviews

Ruth R @RT04603839 3d I absolutely love Patrick’s performance in this show. The show doesn’t need to be high octane as everybody’s calling it. It’s got the perfect tone to it. It’s for the more mature audience. I hope to see a season two. The cast is wonderful and once again, Patrick Dempsey‘s acting it’s superb. I give it 100 stars if I could. See more DCI B @DCI_Benway 3d McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) ain't no killer and the rest of the show is cookie-cutter check-lists down to the 'Mob boss' (Michael Imperioli) slinging hash in the kitchen where he handles business. See more A A. @movieguy517 4d Very drawn out. Lots of unreal scenarios. Also it’s so CLEARLY not filmed in NYC (nor do the sets seem like it) that they should’ve set it someplace else. See more Scott P @Scott352 Mar 6 It’s an interesting premise that lends to added drama on top of the main character’s job as a contract killer . Patrick Dempsey is a perhaps underrated actor. He does a very fine job in this. See more Lane M @RT31121284 Mar 5 Enjoy this series, better than I thought I would. See more James F @Jfrancis007 Mar 4 Ok so no one has security cameras in this world? The people who know all this inside info needed to kill a person and not get caught have never tried to follow this guy for a day to see he has a family? The show is asking the audience to swallow too big a pill. See more Read all reviews
