A fading mind. A violent past.

2026–1 season10 episodes7.8 / 10

A dark psychological thriller that uses Alzheimer's as both literal plot mechanism and metaphor for the dissolution of identity in a man living a fractured double life.

Angelo Doyle lives two totally separate lives — fearsome NYC hitman and sleepy upstate Cooperstown photocopier salesman and father. Both of them are threatened when he is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, a disease he already lost his older brother to.
