THE HUB

The freshman season of Fox’s Memory of a Killer has been a slow-burn descent into the moral gutter, and the Season 1 finale, "Exposed," finally pulled the trigger. We’ve reached the ultimate showdown we’ve been white-knuckling toward: the hitman versus the Fed. Or, more accurately, the murderer who kills "bad people" versus the grieving mother who’s lost her mind. If you’ve been following our coverage here at The TV Cave , you know I’ve been wrestling with the central concei

Forget Me Not: Fox Orders Up a Second Helping of Memory of a Killer Fox has officially greenlit Memory of a Killer for Season 2. The announcement dropped just as the Season 1 finale was wrapping up, proving that while Patrick Dempsey’s character might struggle to remember where he put his car keys (or his hit list), the network knows exactly where the ratings are. Since its debut, the series, an American facelift of the 2003 Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer , has managed to cl

The penultimate push is here, and Memory of a Killer isn’t just pulling at the threads, it’s dousing the whole tapestry in gasoline. Last week’s reveal that Linda Grant is the one pulling the strings left our comment section in a state of absolute civil war. Some of you are living for the twist; others think it’s a leap too far. Regardless of which side of the fence you’re on, Season 1, Episode 9, “Shoot the Piano Player,” just raised the stakes to a level that makes the p

If you’ve been keeping up with FOX’s Memory of a Killer , you know the series has been a slow-burning, tension-filled spectacle with tailored suits and Patrick Dempsey looking stressed in a Porsche. But Season 1, Episode 8, “Tailored by Fabroni,” just turned the burner up so high the stove melted. I've seen a lot of "mid-season peaks," but this? This was giving pure, unadulterated season finale energy. With two episodes still left in the chamber, the stakes were raised to on

If you’ve been waiting for the moment the house of cards finally catches a stiff breeze, Season 1, Episode 7, “Dr. Parks,” is the gale-force wind we’ve been looking for. Memory of A Killer has spent weeks dangling threads of sanity and betrayal, but this week, the walls aren’t just closing in, they’re practically touching. Angelo’s Brain is a Bad Neighborhood Our favorite hitman with a conscience (and a crumbling hippocampus) is still spiraling. Angelo is desperate to unma

If you settled onto your couch tonight, snacks in hand, ready to watch the moral decay of your favorite hitman, I have some bad news that’s going to go down smoother than a room-temperature green juice. If you’re asking yourself, "Is Memory of a Killer airing tonight?" the answer is a resounding, frustrating "no." In a move that reminds us all why linear television is a cruel mistress, Fox has hit the pause button on our favorite Monday night trauma-fest. Instead your scree

The latest installment of Fox’s hit series, Memory of a Killer , just dropped and Episode 6, titled "Uncle Jacob," proves that this show isn’t interested in playing it safe. Between high-tech assassinations and neurological death sentences, the series is firing on all cylinders. The Ultimate Priest Fakeout Let’s talk about that opening because it was a masterclass in the "gotcha" moment. We find Angelo (Patrick Dempsey) in a confessional, admitting he’s a paid-for-hire killer

The slow burn has finally reached a flashpoint. If you’ve been keeping up with Memory of a Killer on The TV Cave , you know the series has been playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with our expectations. But Episode 5 just blew the doors off the hinges. We finally got the deep-dive flashback episode we’ve been craving, unearthing the dark history of Angelo’s brother, Michael, and revealing exactly how far Angelo’s deception stretches. Spoiler alert: It goes back decades

We are only four weeks into Fox’s new hit thriller and things are already ramping up to a breakneck pace. If you thought Angelo Flannery (Patrick Dempsey) was going to spend the season slowly wandering through a foggy memory of suburban domesticity, episode 4, "Unhappy Ending," just served as a violent wake-up call. Between the Alzheimer’s-induced gaps and a mysterious boogeyman stalking his family, Angelo is spinning plates that are starting to crack. The Ferryman and the Co

If you thought Patrick Dempsey’s Angelo Flannery was having a rough week in the premiere, "Samurai" officially kicks the spiral into high gear. At The TV Cave , we live for a good anti-hero breakdown and Memory of a Killer Season 1, Episode 3 is delivering the goods. The Hit That Went Sideways (and Then Some) The stakes in "Samurai" are personal and by personal, we mean "incriminating evidence" personal. Angelo is tasked with a hit on an Internal Affairs agent who has been d

The silver fox is back, and he’s already forgetting where he parked his getaway car. Following a pulse-pounding pilot, Memory of a Killer Season 1, Episode 2, "Ferryman," aired tonight on FOX, proving that being a hitman with early-onset Alzheimer’s is exactly as stressful as it sounds. If the premiere was about setting the stage, "Ferryman" is about the walls closing in both legally and neurologically on our favorite hitman, Angelo Flannery. Hospital Gazes and Alibis We pic

Forget everything you know about the "Grey’s Anatomy" heartthrob. In the series premiere of FOX’s Memory of a Killer , Patrick Dempsey is unaliving people, at least when he can remember where he put his car keys. The pilot episode, which debuted tonight manages to bridge the gap between a cozy family drama and a gritty NYC noir and the results are as messy as a close-quarters hit. The Copier Salesman of Cooperstown We open on Angelo Doyle (Dempsey), the ultimate "Girl Dad."
