Task

Task follows Tom Brandis, a tired FBI agent and former Catholic priest in the Philadelphia suburbs. After a family tragedy, Tom returns to field work and leads a new task force against violent robberies at drug houses. The robberies come from Robbie Prendergrast, a garbage worker and father who wants money and revenge against a biker gang. The seven-episode season stays dark and tense, but it also makes room for grief, faith, and mercy.

The show has one small identity-focused thread through Aleah Clinton, a black detective whose past abuse shapes her work. Aleah uses her own pain to help another woman speak, and the story presents her as a tough and highly capable officer. That message about women standing up for themselves stays inside her personal story and does not drive the whole case. The season spends far more time on crime, family duty, guilt, forgiveness, and Tom's choice to forgive his son.
