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.

4/5

Task is quite a wild ride that acts as a worthy follow-up to Ingelsby's previous series, giving us all of the captivating pieces needed to turn this into a gripping crime thriller, including excellent performances from the entire ensemble.

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.

Probably the best police drama I've seen since Mare of Easttown. Great show. Even the child actors brought their A game.

Superbly acted and well written show. Even though there's only 7 episodes, the depth and background for each of the characters comes right through. It's not a high octane action drama, but it keeps you on the edge of your seat with the acting, dialogue, and overall tension of the show that keeps building each episode. Definitely worth the watch.

A crime procedural that puts the characters and their humanity up front.

I loved it and I will literally never watch it again. Mark Ruffalo’s performance shattered my heart into a million pieces. Fabien Frankel was also excellent!
