I'm only in Episode 1 and I'm already noticing where his dementia is just on the edge of beginning. First, in the kitchen with his daughter and then walking away from the restaurant after the assassination. If you've never been in the presence of someone who has dementia, you would never catch it. Here's a little hint. Whenever he says something to someone, look at their facial expression after he has said it. It's as if they are hearing what he is saying, for the very first time and have a questionable look in their face as if they had missed something. It's there. You just have to be aware of what to look at and you'll see it. I'm hoping that throughout the season we'll see more noticeable things. They call dementia the silent killer because you don't see it coming until it's real noticeable but it's always been there and progresses with time.

Started off as interesting, but quickly became silly and unbelievable. Episode 3 was stretching it, but episode 4 was so bad that I couldn't finish it, and I have no desire to watch any further episodes. Totally lost me with the nonsense about the pregnant daughter and her involvement with the cop and the murder investigation.

Surprised itโ€™s really good, who would have thought McDreamy could play a hitman but he does and very well. Story is engaging and keeps you on your toes.

Memory of a Killer on paper is not very interesting, it's just another one of those retired assassin's dimensia drama done by so many older actors. The only saving grace that interest me to watch Memory of a Killer is Patrick Dempsey. I first noticed Dempsey in 1991's Run, Dempsey was impressive coz he was basically a weak fast running loser who were hunted by everyone in Run. In Memory of a Killer, Dempsey becomes the assassin. It's not perfectly excellent coz Dempsey failed to show he could play believable dimensia patient, but then again, it's TV.

Two episodes in and They had the chance to put a more mystery and twist with the memory but even after two episodes that thing is not even scrath the surface, i assume it will go like this procedural and at some point a twist will come a long to justify you viewing it. Maybe 10 years ago this could be a hit (no pun intended). Patrick is bad. Dropping.
