Critics Consensus

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

Graeme Blundell

The Australian

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.

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.

Rated: 4/5

The Atlantic

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.

I end up admiring Task; it just doesn’t quite sing. Though I do wonder if it suffers unfairly from all the anticipation after Mare.

Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast)

I ultimately found the show incredibly rewarding because I thought it was going to be one thing. ...But...what I found was something that was a lot shaggier and more rumpled and character study-ish.

La Nación (Argentina)

...Ingelsby once again crafts a story with harsh climates, in which there is no reprieve, with stories that at times seem suffocating. [Full review in Spanish]

There has been one good episode out of the whole season and one episode does not make for a whole season.

Can’t believe this is only 68% from audience. This is one of the best shows on tv. Great acting and writing.

The show started off great, I was hooked for the first 4/5 episodes but then it changed. Characters started to change, the events in the show started to drag and the suspense dissipated. Hope it can recover and go back to like earlier in the season.

Episode 6 has gotten a little better but still is very slow and dull.

Should’ve ended with the 6th episode. Perfect finale. It’s slow but the protagonist and antagonist are both so compelling. Was rooting for both sides. Not as good ss true detective S1 but reminds me of that world

There is plenty of suspense to keep you wondering what will happen next. But it's the characterizations and the acting that make it above average. All the acting is good: Ruffalo, Pelphrey, Emilia Jones, and Alison Oliver are all standouts.
