HBO Sunday nights are so back! Task, the new crime drama from Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby, premieres tonight on HBO and HBO Max. Like Mare, Task takes place in the suburbs of Philadelphia, a magical place full of Wawas, Rita’s Water Ice stands, and people exchanging the sacred words, “Go Birds.” However, unlike the Kate Winslet hit, Task isn’t focused on one cop or one case, but a sprawling cast of fascinating characters all caught up in a web of armed robberies.
Task follows Robbie Prendergrast (Tom Pelphry), a trash collector who has been robbing local gang houses whenever a major drug deal has gone down. However, Robbie and his crew have been specifically targeting the Dark Hearts, a dangerous motorcycle gang that controls drugs throughout rural PA. As the thefts begin to threaten more gang violence, FBI agent Tom Brandis (Mark Ruffalo) is called out of the career fair circuit to head a Task Force devoted to rooting Robbie and his friends out before things get out of control.
Over the course of Task‘s seven episodes, we not only learn more about Robbie and Tom, but also about the wide web of characters in both men’s orbit. We get to know more about the Prendergrast family’s troubles, the unspeakable tragedy that’s broken the Brandis house, and what could threaten the Dark Hearts’ hold on power the most.
