Task Series-Premiere Recap: Men in Dark Times
Instead of Kate Winslet and Jean Smart, the series Task presents us with Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey as two struggling single fathers. It’s a suspenseful tale disguised as a procedural, where an emotionally scarred FBI agent engaged in a high-stakes chase with a lawbreaker grappling with the burden of feeding too many mouths. Once more, Ingelsby ventures to the outskirts of Philadelphia and Delco. Ruffalo portrays Tom, an FBI agent whose son is incarcerated under unclear circumstances following his wife’s demise. Pelphrey plays Robbie, a garbage man turned thief who often dons a chilling skull mask. His wife abandoned him to raise the kids with his niece, Maeve, brilliantly enacted by Emilia Jones. Oh yes, his brother is deceased.
