The Comfort Factor
Fans of Mark Ruffalo have reason to be excited—he stars in a new HBO Max crime series, and, according to reports, even Stephen King has taken notice. The iconic Misery author shared his thoughts on social media:
TASK (HBO): It's a crime story; it's nailbiting suspense. You'll care about the lawmen (led by Mark Ruffalo) and the criminals. Most of all, you'll care about the kidnapped little boy.
Behind the Scenes
Brad Ingelsby is the creative force behind the miniseries Task, taking writing credits on all seven episodes. He's no stranger to HBO, having previously created Mare of Easttown for the platform—which has its own loyal following thanks to gripping mysteries and layered characters.
An Unusual Hero
According to available information, Ruffalo plays Tom Brandis, a current FBI agent with a former life as a Catholic priest—an origin story you don't see every day. If you’re intrigued by complex, character-driven crime thrillers, Task is available to stream on HBO Max.
