Streaming Task (HBO)

HBO mini series (2025)
7 eps
creator: behind Mare of Easttown
An FBI agent heads a Task Force to put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspecting family man

Bit late but I think it deserves it's own thread. Best mini series Since Mare of Easttown and True Detective season 1.

Spoiler

ep 6: Was praying Robbie would make it through but I think all the alluding it would be his end even from last weeks. Wonder what final twist there will be in next weeks finale.

This show is the best on the telly at the moment. So well written and has great (as in interesting) 3 dimensional characters.

The scene with Tom and Grasso in the latest episode is as good as TV gets. Perfect writing and acting. Completely blown away.

 

[The Dice Man]

One of my favourite shows of the year and I will miss it when it’s gone.
The acting, writing and filming are all top notch.

I think after ep 2 I googled the guy playing Robby and was surprised that it was the guy from Ozark (Marty’s wife’s brother) and then I wasn’t surprised as he was excellent in that too.

He’s an incredible actor and should go on to do great things.

Also thought Grasso has been great and of course Ruffalo brings so much warmth

I had it in my head that it was a six episode series. So while this week’s one was so brilliant, I thought they’d left so much unresolved. So happy to know we get one more next week.

Surely there's another season? There's plot lines everywhere yet to be closed off.

Surely?

BTW, I loved this show, one of my favourites for the year.

Is there that many plot lines? The only major one I can think of is pinning Grasso and if Maeve can walk away with the money which can easily be covered in 1 hr of television.

I wonder if Jayson will find out Perry knocked his missus off ?

 

[Kirby]

Outstanding final episode. Nailed it.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Damn that was emotionally draining (in a good way).

 

[Warsaw]

Emotionally rewarding. Extraordinarily empathetic show.

Think after Mare you more or less know how a Brad Ingelsby show is going to go, still found it to be very affecting. Some phenomenal Ruffalo work.

 

[Frank Bunn]

The acting was tops, in particular Ruffalo, Jones and Frankel. Martha Plimpton was fun as the cranky FBI boss.

I enjoyed the robbers vs bikies vs FBI slow horses. Couldn't be bothered with the domestic stuff of Tom Brandis's family, and started to skip those scenes.

 

[Gasometer]

One of the best shows of 2025

Outstanding

 

[Freak Dodgeball Accident]

Holy shit, that was a seriously good show. One of the best I've seen for a while.

Would have loved more scenes with Tom and Robbie, they were great together. Brilliant characters, along with Maeve. All three actors smashed it.

Only negative is they didn't really need Tom's sons side quest. Although it didn't take up too much time, with such a short series it seemed unnecessary. Could have spent that time beefing up the Aesha storyline who was another good character

Great score track

Season 2 announced. Hoping they go the anthology route
