Task - HBO

Watched the first episode, was a good start, from the same person who made Mare Of Easttown, same vibes.

Solid, very well acted thriller, parts of the story not disimilar to Dope Thief. Hoping it doesn't go off the rails like Dope Thief did towards the end.

Yeah, although feels like by EP3 a lot is already in the open, so be interesting how they route the story for another 4 given quite a lot has happened early on

Now it's ended need to get this watched, especially as it's been renewed for s2

‘Task’ Renewed for Second Season at HBO

The drama starring Mark Ruffalo has become a word-of-mouth hit.

Do wonder if they'll do the 'crossover' with Mare of Easttown in s2.

Its a cracking series, one of the years best imo.

Enjoyed the 1st so will look forward to the release of the 2nd season, Mark Ruffalo is quite an underrated actor and is really good in this.

Forgot I posted this, I finished it up a while ago, not quite as good as Mare Of East Town but was overall a solid season which I enjoyed and will tune into S2, overall I'll score it 7/10, for reference I would score True Detective S1 a 9.5/10 which is almost perfection!

Got around to watching this last 2 nights, wasn't so sure on it after first episode but it found it's way and by the end of episode 5 I was hooked, with how they ended it could have quite easily been left as a limited series if it didn't get a renewal and I would have been fine with that.

Looking forward to s2 but do hope they go in a different direction so it's not a copy and paste of s1.
