In 2021, Brad Ingelsby’s limited HBO series Mare of Easttown cemented itself as much-watch TV: a relentlessly bleak crime drama whose high-profile cast made a meal of its meaty family dynamics. Now, Ingelsby is ready to do it all over again with his new series, Task.
Beyond Ingelsby’s involvement, Task inevitably invites Mare of Easttown comparisons. Just like Mare of Easttown, it’s set in Pennsylvania, and it’s got the accents to make sure you never forget it. It also boasts a similarly stacked cast, with Mark Ruffalo taking over for Kate Winslet as Ingelsby’s latest troubled investigator with a troubled family. And of course, it’s bleaker than bleak.
