"The innovative crime show, dubbed 'Task', is the newest creation from the mind behind 'Mare of Easttown'"
Mark Ruffalo takes on a compelling role in the new seven-part drama, "Task," airing on HBO Sundays. He portrays Tom Brandis, a former priest turned FBI agent, who is more complex than he initially appears.
Joining Ruffalo in the star-studded cast are Tom Pelphrey, Emilia Jones, Thuso Mbedu, Raúl Castillo, Jamie McShane, Sam Keeley, Fabien Frankel, Alison Oliver, Silvia Dionicio, and Martha Plimpton.
"Task" is the latest creation by Brad Ingelsby, set in Pennsylvania, much like his previous work. The drama also shares similarities with Ingelsby's earlier work in its delivery of surprises and cliffhangers in every episode.
The series explores deep and thought-provoking themes, with long, intimate conversations between characters revolving around topics such as faith and death, love and duty, family and responsibility.
Meanwhile, Kate Winslet delivers a captivating performance as a small-town Pennsylvania police detective in the critically acclaimed HBO miniseries, "Mare of Easttown." This character study and detective story are set in a similar locale and share a similar tension-filled atmosphere.
"Mare of Easttown" is known for its effective use of characters, locations, and settings, building suspense through its miniseries format, which heightens the tension due to the possibility of central characters dying.

Martha Plimpton plays Tom's captain in "Task," who summons him to investigate a spate of home invasions. Emilia Jones portrays Maeve, Tom Brandis's niece, adding another layer of complexity to the narrative.
"Task" promises a gripping drama with plenty of tension, action, and conflict, while also offering heart, emotion, and deeper meaning. Catch it on HBO Sundays.
