"If you thought last week's Task episode was the finale, you're not alone. Major characters' deaths in episode 6that we won't spoil just yetconfused a lot of viewers, who promptly flocked to the Internet for answers. While some heated fans swore off the series entirely, others asked what another hour of the series hoped to accomplish. As one commenter wrote under our recap of episode 6, Task completely breaks down with this episode... Very disappointing. Nothing that happens in the finale matters now."
"Outside of capturing the Dark Hearts or proving that Anthony Grasso (Fabien Frankel) was the mole, there was little plot left for Task to explore. But after watching the finale, it's clear we may have been a bit small-minded. Not only did fans receive more depth and closure to both the Dark Hearts and Anthony Grasso's storylines, but we also watched a truly Emmy-worthy speech from Mark Ruffalo as FBI agent Tom Brandis forgave his son at his sentencing hearing."
Episode 6's deaths confused many viewers and prompted intense online reactions, with some fans abandoning the series and others questioning narrative purpose. Creator Brad Ingelsby produced a seventh episode that provided closure. The finale deepened character arcs, resolved the Dark Hearts storyline, and confirmed Anthony Grasso as the mole while giving closure to his arc. Mark Ruffalo delivered an emotionally powerful sentencing hearing speech as FBI agent Tom Brandis, forgiving his son, which many viewers called Emmy-worthy. Reactions shifted from disappointment to satisfaction among viewers who trusted the storytelling, praising the seven-episode run and the emotional payoff.
