""You ever done something you can't be forgiven for?" So asks a depressed Mark Ruffalo in the new HBO Max drama , the latest must-watch miniseries from Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby. Like the acclaimed Mare of Easttown before it, Task follows law enforcement in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. This time, the show tells of a haunted FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) who is assigned to apprehend a family man (Tom Pelphrey) responsible for a string of violent robberies in the area."
"Task stages the collision of two men with everything to lose, their destinies underlined by themes of fatherhood, broken dreams, and guilt. You can almost imagine Ruffalo's Tom having a lot in common with Kate Winslet's Mare, both of them career law enforcement whose family lives are anything but stable. Task, which is slated for seven total episodes, is a masterclass in Delco-based tension, anchored by Pelphrey and Ruffalo's performances."
