After a strong second episode, Task backs down on its most compelling elements and works overtime to set up what will inevitably be its second wind. Mare of Easttown was often like this, too, continually rewriting its rules as it went, but Task usually feels top-heavy with exposition, relying too heavily on its powerhouse actors. The beginning of the episode starts with Robbie explaining to Maeve that he’s targeting the Dark Hearts because they killed his brother (her father). We also learn who the mole in the Dark Hearts is, Eryn (Margarita Levieva), a scrappy woman with long, beautiful hair and a snakebite piercing. She’s also the partner of the Dark Hearts’s leader, Jayson. She wants revenge on the gang for killing her lover, Robbie’s brother, hence why she’s working with Robbie’s crew. The problem is that the Dark Hearts now know there’s a mole. How long does she have to live? The odds aren’t great. Robbie and Cliff hope they can use a back channel to offload their fentanyl haul, perhaps through the shady-seeming Ray, a former cellmate of Cliff’s.

Where was "Task," the HBO show filmed, and when are new episodes released?

Here's what to know about "Task," where it was filmed and more. 

"Task" was created by Brad Ingelsby, a Berwyn, Pennsylvania, native who wrote and produced "Mare of Easttown," the 2021 HBO miniseries featuring Kate Winslet. 

"Task" is a crime drama that follows a Philadelphia-based FBI agent who is put in charge of ending a string of violent robberies at drug houses in the Delaware Valley.
