Memory of a Killer (Fox): Inspired by the 2003 award-winning Belgian film, this dramatic thriller about a hitman who develops early onset Alzheimer’s stars Patrick Dempsey, alongside Odeya Rush. Here’s the synopsis: “Losing your memory is a devastating hammer blow for anyone, but for Angelo Ledda, the stakes couldn’t be higher. His hit man job would be perilous enough, but there’s an added pressure. Angelo lives two totally separate lives—fearsome NYC hitman and sleepy upstate Cooperstown photocopier salesman and father. Having built and maintained a brick wall between his two worlds, Angelo has seamlessly juggled and compartmentalized for years. But now that’s all about to change. Because Alzheimer’s is a foe he can’t outrun, and he knows too well how this ends, as his older brother is already lost to the condition.” Special two night premiere following the NFC Championship game; another episode airs Monday, January 26
