What critics are saying about Memory of a Killer

11 Best New Shows on Netflix: January 2026's Top Upcoming Series to Watch. Decider's 17 Best TV Shows Of 2025.Our Take: After watching the first two episodes of Memory Of A Killer , we feel that the showrunners, Aaron Zelman and Glenn Kessler, and their writers are missing an opportunity to make a show that goes way deeper than just a twisty conspiracy thriller. Through those first two episodes, Angelo’s cognitive decline is addressed, but only in small ways, like we mentioned earlier in this review.

If “Memory of a Killer” can’t find the realism in Angelo’s objectively implausible setup, it could at least lean into the fantasy. But when the hitman’s cognitive decline starts to manifest, the slippage between reality and delusion is played disappointingly straight. Angelo forgets passcodes and gets lost in a forest, symptoms helpfully foreshadowed for him by one of Michael’s nurses.
