Mark Ruffalo’s New Crime Drama ‘Task’ Being Touted as HBO’s Best Show Since ‘True Detective’
In Task — a new series from the creators of Mare of Easttown — Mark Ruffalo plays an FBI agent named Tom who’s assigned to head a task force to investigate a string of violent drug-house robberies in suburban Philadelphia to prevent a gang war from breaking out.
The story is told from both Tom’s point of view and that of the unlikely culprit, Robbie, a struggling father (Tom Pelphrey). As much a family drama as a police story, Task is being touted as HBO’s best series since True Detective.
Task | Premieres Sunday, Sept. 7, on HBO
