Critics Consensus

Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey are superb in Task, a culturally-specific crime story that's unrelentingly bleak but equally riveting.

Inglesby gives us a morally complex story about human folly that finally suggests the way fate often casts a long shadow and, in this case, adds a sense of inevitability that heightens the suspense.

4/5

You’ve seen this kind of show before, probably many times – but Task’s compelling characters, patient writing and undercurrent of emotion help it stand out from the crowd.

The choice Task makes to soften Ruffalo’s natural affability and presence in favor of Pelphrey’s Robbie is a fascinating one, requiring humility from one actor and intense commitment from the other.

Watching Ruffalo tackling yardwork and a spot of DIY is one of the true delights of Task. Like Mare, it does a terrific job of mixing domestic woes with the twists and turns of the central investigation.

Robbie's revenge has things go wrong and unintended consequences. It becomes a thriller that is very intriguing and compelling. Even if the FBI was taken out of the narrative, the fallout of Robbie's road to revenge is powerful alone.

86/100

Emmy worthy performances from Jones and Ruffalo anchor the tight thrill ride of Task, a show with enough twists and surprises along the way to make the ride very much worth the viewing.

A brilliant original drama about hate, love, and everything inbetween - meaning a complex tale where the leader of a FBI task force is the center of it all, and the parallells of his own compounded destiny and the fate created by the actions of a number of individuals get tangled together into quite an ingenoius plot. Well written and well acted, though some of the crime aspects may get a bit over the top.

I don’t give out 5 stars easily. Loved it and thought it was just going to be another detective series but this one got me. Loved it and think you should watch and see for yourself.

Feels like they (HBO) pulled in writers and characters from other HBO shows and cobbled them together in this network TV level show. The twists are goofy.

Emmy Award worthy Mark Ruffalo leads a brilliant ensemble cast in this heavy dark thriller. Compelling, intense and emotionally arresting.
