Memory of a Killer

Patrick Dempsey in Memory of a Killer.

Streaming on Hulu

In his first major network role since Grey’s Anatomy, in which he played the heartthrob neurosurgeon dubbed “McDreamy” for 11 seasons, Patrick Dempsey stars as an aging hit man battling early-onset Alzheimer’s. In the show—a remake of the 2003 Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer (adapted in 2022 into a film starring Liam Neeson)—Dempsey’s existence is split between his personal life as a devoted father and his professional life as a cold-blooded killer. Chaos ensues when the carefully maintained distance between these two worlds narrows. Michael Imperioli is a welcome addition as his friend and handler. —Paulina Prosnitz
