New series from Mare of Easttown creator, featuring Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo, unveils a tearfully emotional trailer laden with drug use and gun violence
Prepare for an intense and emotionally charged crime drama as HBO Max premieres Task on September 7. This seven-episode series follows Mark Ruffalo as Tom, an FBI agent in Philadelphia leading a task force on a mission to apprehend a biker gang leader.
Tom Pelphrey portrays Robbie, the seemingly ordinary family man who heads the violent robbery crew. The dynamic between these two characters is tense and complex, reminiscent of the relationship between Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro's characters in Heat.
The story unfolds in a blue-collar Philadelphia suburb, where the impact of crime on the community is explored in depth. Task delves into themes of loyalty, desperation, and the blurred lines between right and wrong, as both Tom and Robbie grapple with personal struggles and the consequences of their actions.
Tom's character is depicted as a fractured and worn-down agent, balancing professional pressure and personal strife. Robbie, on the other hand, justifies his criminal behavior as a means of survival. The show is created by Brad Ingelsby, the mind behind Mare of Easttown, and features a supporting cast that adds depth to this gripping narrative.
The first trailer for Task offers a backdrop of sentimental emotional turmoil, setting the stage for a rollercoaster ride of suspense and intrigue. The series is said to feature drug-fueled violence and plenty of guns, promising a thrilling ride for viewers.
If you're looking for a compelling crime drama that explores the moral gray areas and social issues underpinning crime, Task is not to be missed.
