I’m six episodes into Task and I’m honestly blown away. What a piece of filmmaking! Brilliantly written and acted — everything just clicks, everything’s exactly where it should be. There’s one episode left, and I have no idea how HBO plans to wrap it up, but this is an absolute knockout. One of the best shows of the year. Maybe the best?It’s created by the showrunners of Mare of Easttown. The cast is top-tier: Mark Ruffalo, Tom Pelphrey, plus some lesser-known faces who are just as outstanding. The music hits perfectly, too.Highly recommended. Best to go in without reading too much — just let the creators tell their story. It’s not only the plot that delivers here. For me, it’s a show about violence — about the whole cycle of it, and how much harm it causes to everyone around. Totally worth watching.
Stunnning. Beautiful. Engaging. Andrew Scott is amazing, but also everything else. Cinematography is art, with Hitchcock vibes, And all in B/W. Recommended.
