Season 1 Review:
Yes, the editing can at times feel ambiguous, but these moments are so few and far between that they are quite easy to move past and even embrace. When that small imperfection is measured against Dempsey's performance, which gives away just enough to convince you he's a seasoned hitman, along with the constantly twisting plot and enjoyable action, the qualities far outweigh any negatives.

Season 1 Review:
It's a bit lackluster and tedious, particularly during scenes of Angelo's "Leave it to Beaver" family life. 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.

Season 1 Review:
“Memory of a Killer” isn’t must-see TV, but it has potential as a darkly entertaining antihero thriller in the vein of “Dexter.” If it can maintain its pulpy pace without losing control of its unwieldy plot, it might be able to wring a few seasons out of its premise.

Season 1 Review:
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. But through the first two episodes, there’s not enough of that to make the show feel much different than other conspiracy thrillers of recent vintage.
