HBO Max’s Memory of a Killer Is a Global Streaming Hit

by

A new crime series starring Patrick Dempsey is quickly becoming a hit, surpassing even shows like Dexter. The drama has become one of the most-watched programs on HBO Max since its release earlier this year.

Recent data from FlixPatrol shows that HBO Max’s most popular shows include several currently airing series. While performing well, it’s behind hits like Noah Wyle’s medical drama, The Pitt, and Steve Carell’s new comedy, Rooster.

Angelo Doyle leads a double life – a devoted father and grandfather-to-be, and a professional hitman. But his dangerous career is about to collide with his family, and things get even more complicated when he starts showing signs of Alzheimer’s disease. To make matters worse, a shadowy figure begins to target his pregnant daughter, causing Angelo’s world to unravel.

The series Memory of a Killer boasts a strong supporting cast, including Richard Harmon, Odeya Rush, and Michael Imperioli. It began airing on January 25th and is currently finishing up its ten-episode first season, with the finale scheduled for April 6th. The show is adapted from the 1985 Belgian novel De Zaak Alzheimer.

Is Memory of a Killer Getting a Second Season?

The TV series Memory of a Killer presents a complete story within its first season, but could continue if viewers respond well. Currently, the show hasn’t been picked up for another season. However, its positive reception adds to the possibility of HBO ordering more episodes.

The show has gained a following with viewers, but critics haven’t been overly impressed with the initial episodes. Rotten Tomatoes shows a critic score of only 50%, although audiences seem to enjoy it more, giving it a 72% rating. Ultimately, critical reviews may not matter if the show continues to attract a large audience, and it seems to be doing just that as the first season ends.

Viewers will likely learn more about the possibility of a second season after the season one finale airs on April 6th. If the first season ends well, Memory of a Killer has the potential to continue Angelo Doyle’s story for several years.

Memory of a Killer is available to stream on HBO Max.
