Task on HBO

Anyone else been watching? I’ve thought “very good” from day 1 but I just got to watch Sunday nights episode and man…that was a tour de force hour of television. Wow. Next Sunday is the finale

Ruffalo vehicle from the creator of Mare of Easttown. Whole cast has been great

Agree. Really enjoying it.

The episode last week left me disappointed. I also thought that WAS the finale, so hope springs eternal.

Disappointed how? Curious to see what shortcomings you saw/felt

It just didn’t seem to wrap up the stories. Perhaps that’s because I thought it was the last episode.

Gotcha. I thought it was fantastic, but of course I knew we had one more to go.

I was thinking you might say that the action happened a little too fast....ie., jumping from the gun fight to them figuring out Grasso was the leak, etc. and they did pack a ton of action into an hour of TV and I can see how some might think that the ID of Grasso seemed hasty. BUT Feds move really damn fast too and if there was a leak and only 4-5 people it could be (Task plus Martha Plimpton)....they would figure that out in a heartbeat.

The previews for next week's episode look incredible.

One other thing....again, its basically the same team as Mare of Easttown and they did a great job there of tying up what needed to be tied up....and if it was something that could be left to the imagination/the future, they handled that appropriately as well. I'm not worried about the storylines not concluding appropriately.

Just finished the finale. Excellent limited series. Would still put Mare of Easttown over it but was very well done

Finale did a great job IMO in wrapping what needed to wrap, pointed directions for important lines that didn’t need to be wrapped with a neat little bow, and allowed that which can be left to the imagination exactly that

The finale was really good. I loved the courtroom scene.

Speaking of the courtroom scene....I loved the fact that they didn't get into what Ethan was sentenced into. It wasn't needed. All that was needed was showing Ruffalo finding himself again, specifically including loving his son.
