Looking forward to watching it. The creator did a great job with Mare of Easttown a few years back.
True. Though at least there was some pick up 1st Ep
Toward a Unified Theory of Motorcycle Gangs
With the introduction of the Dark Hearts, ‘Task’ joins a long history of Hollywood’s fascination with biker clubs

When dude asked about the marriage bed it reminded me of the time I turned down some cougar pussy. Didn't feel comfortable. They ended up getting divorced couple years later because her husband was cheating. I wondered if he knew she was too. One of those missed opportunities.

Props to Salli Richardson Whitfield. She's handled directing duties for half the episodes so far (eps 3, 4, and 6). Nice to see her quick cameo in the last episode too.
The writer / creator Brad Ingelsby did a solid job with Mare of Easttown a few years back too.
Hopefully he keeps doing projects / miniseries for HBO!

How many episodes along in Task are you?
Also - not sure if you've seen Mare of Easttown, but it's worth checking out as well. Well earned awards for that 2021 show. Both shows have some filming in and around Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
The series received critical acclaim for its story, characters, acting, and representation of women. It has also been noted for its cast members speaking in a mostly accurate Philadelphia accent, a dialect seldom heard in mainstream media. Mare of Easttown received sixteen nominations at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards and won four, including Outstanding Lead Actress for Winslet, Outstanding Supporting Actress for Nicholson, and Outstanding Supporting Actor for Peters.

Bro I couldn’t sleep last night and I knew it was mentioned on here so I watched the first 3 episodes last night. Was up to 5am lol
I’ll definitely check out Mare. Thanks
Nice.
Yeah - you're gonna dig episodes 5 and 6. Easily 2 of the best of the season. The pacing of the first 15 minutes of episode 6 is excellent.
Mare of Easttown was a really pleasant surprise in 2021. Great role for Winslet.
If you have a chance (after watching more Task episodes) ... check out these Inside the Episode featurettes. They're a nice assist, and easy to get through at only 6 - 8 minutes each.
Side note ... I was familiar with Ingelsby's writing previously for the movies American Woman and Out of the Furnace. Shoutout to @joneblaze for recommending American Woman years back in the MOVIE thread. My fave acting performance from Sienna Miller. See trailer below.
