Mark Ruffalo’s Task Gets Its First Rotten Tomatoes Rating Ahead of Premiere – Is it Good?

The Task got its first verdict ahead of its release. Mark Ruffalo, forever tied to the role of Bruce Banner in the MCU, now leads an FBI thriller series that is already drawing heavy comparisons to Mare of Easttown. The show follows Ruffalo as an agent assembling a task force to take down a series of violent robberies, with the surprising twist that the culprit is a family man living an ordinary life on the surface.

The Task Rotten Tomatoes Score

Silvia Dionicio and Jamie McShane join Mark Ruffalo in the project, and the early reviews give the series a solid start. On Rotten Tomatoes, it currently holds an 81 percent rating, a sharp contrast to Countdown, another recent thriller in the same space, which could only secure 35 percent.

Why Task Is Compared to Mare of Easttown

One of the reasons for the comparisons lies in the creative mind behind it. Brad Ingelsby, who made a mark with Mare of Easttown, is the writer of this new project. Since that series, Ingelsby has kept busy, working on Echo Valley with Sydney Sweeney and Julianne Moore, which has performed strongly on Apple TV+, and also scripting The Lost Bus. This film will bring Matthew McConaughey back to the screen after six years. With his storytelling history, Task already promises strong character work and tense drama.
