Patrick Dempsey's New Role: A Killer with a Twist

Patrick Dempsey, known for his role as a charming neurosurgeon on a popular medical drama, is now taking on a very different character. In his new series, he plays Angelo, a hitman who might be developing early-onset dementia. The show, set to air on Fox in January 2026, is getting mixed reviews from critics. The series is inspired by a Belgian film from 2003. Some critics think the show has a lot going on but moves quickly. They are impressed by Dempsey's ability to play such a different role. One critic even called it thrilling to see him in this new light. However, others feel the show tries to do too much and loses its way.One critic gave the show a high rating, praising the unique angle of a killer dealing with dementia. Another critic, however, found the show to be too silly and not believable. They thought Dempsey's character was too smooth to be a convincing assassin. Some critics also noted that the show doesn't spend enough time developing Angelo's character beyond his roles as an assassin, a father, and a patient. They worry that the issues in the first two episodes might not be resolved as the series goes on. Overall, critics seem to think the show has potential, but they are not sure if it can keep up the momentum. As a fan of Dempsey's previous work, it will be interesting to see how this new series unfolds.
