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.

86/100

Emmy worthy performances from Jones and Ruffalo anchor the tight thrill ride of Task, a show with enough twists and surprises along the way to make the ride very much worth the viewing.

Mark Ruffalo is at his best, and Tom Pelphrey stands out as a conflicted and occasionally menacing character. These two stories collide in one of the more compelling and engaging shows of the year.

I really tried to like this, especially after hearing/reading all the rave reviews. I did not on the whole. Way too many coincidences and ridiculous situations that, even though a fictional show, proved way too hard to swallow. It had potential, but the writing and gaping holes in the plot and some characters were too much to overcome. However, the final episode made the show worth a watch as it was a heartfelt, redemptive ending to the story.

It takes a while to get going but worth it in the end

Es una de las mejores series del año, no es para todo el mundo, toma su tiempo y explora a sus personajes completamente es devastadora y calida al mismo tiempo es un hermoso cuadro de una tormenta, la tormenta del destino.

The seven episodes start slowly while the characters are developed, but by the end of the second you are hooked. A superbly acted show with a great story to tell about the reality of the tough choices in life we all must face sometime. All the while, a gripping cops and robbers plot plays out with building intensity that will have you binge-watching to the wee hours.

This show was frustrating! It started out so well but then just derailed as if they changed directors half way through. Some of the main characters had strong starting then they almost did a 180 for some reason and the annoying character just would not go away until the last second but the character that made it watchable dies on the 5th episode. Sorry but had high hopes since episode 1,2,3 then I literally got fed up!
