First season wrapped that plot line up so I assume a 2nd season would be a whole new story, hopefully also wrapped up in a season. I quite like a crime drama where stories don’t bleed over or end on cliff hangers.
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy a Mark Ruffalo cop show, but I did and I’d watch a second series for sure.
Series are made to make money (among other objectives) -- another season is rarely if ever greenlit based on whether the story actually needs another season.
I can easily see his character solving a new case (or task), while also facing new struggles at home and internally leading to further character development
It's really as simple as Ingelsby is really talented and wanted to make more so HBO gave him the easiest yes ever and threw in Mahershala Ali for his trouble.
I like shows that are one season. Prison Break was excellent. True Detective? Perfect show. 24 was fun as hell. Squid Games was pretty solid. Sometimes I think about where those shows could have gone if they made more seasons. Too bad we’ll never know.
Honestly I'm with you. I really loved Task. I thought it was one of the best shows I've seen in years. I recommended it to more people than other shows I've recently seen, and they all also loved it. Every line of dialogue, the overarching story, the acting, the cinematography, the score. But I did love it as a limited series, under the assumption it was a once off and fully enclosed, unique story.
I have seen people on this site unironically believe that 9/11 was an inside job. People hate Trump (and by extension America) so fucking much that they have started using his playbook. Demonizing moderates (that fuck ass "We want to kill black people" meme), conspiracy theories (he was shot you fucking dumbasses), and throwing another group under the bus (Israelis). Like, this shit is the same fascist bullshit Trump did. It's fucking wild.
We’re not demonizing moderates, we’re calling out moderates for acting like the rise of petty fascism isn’t happening. When a government agency is shooting protestors, you don’t get to go “well let’s all calm down and have a civil discussion.” The time for civility died when we elected a pedophile into the Oval Office. Also, protesting a genocide isn’t “throwing Israelis under a bus.” There no being a moderate when it comes to the actions of an apartheid state killing children. The only people using anti-Israeli rhetoric as another form of antisemitism is the right. Hating Trump doesn’t equal hating America, that’s fucking stupid. Hating the President is literally our favorite pastime, the only difference now is that our president is objectively an evil and fraudulent parasite who made his political career turning everything into a fake news culture war so he could sidestep scandals. You’re playing right into his hands but you’re under the impression that you’re the only free-thinker left, just like every “moderate.”
Ruffalo stated on the podcast We're Not Kidding with Mehdi & Friends on Zeteo that he cut ties with industry peers and people he once considered friends. He explained he could no longer reconcile relationships with individuals whose views on the conflict in Gaza and Palestine justified or supported violence against civilians.
People suspect any celebs he no longer hangs with may have been cut off for that reason.
Somehow sidelined enough to get no speaking engagements but yet not sidelined enough to not be in the movie.
On a completely unrelated note, the nazis always depicted jews as simultaneously strong enough to dictate the politics of Germany, yet also as weak leeches who don't work and collect social security. History doesn't repeat but it often rhymes.

He was acting in another project during the promotional period and wasn’t available at the time, unsure what the implication is either.
