Task is a 2025 American crime series directed by Jeremiah Zagar and Salli Richardson-Whitfield, starring Mark Ruffalo as an FBI agent who assembles a specialized unit to dismantle a brazen robbery operation targeting drug houses in the suburbs of Philadelphia — a world where the lines between law, family, and moral compromise blur at every turn.

What is Task about?

When a pattern of coordinated drug-house break-ins begins rattling Philadelphia's suburban corridors, FBI Agent Tom is handed a mandate: build a task force from scratch and shut it down before the violence escalates. As his unit closes in, the investigation reveals the operation's mastermind to be someone nobody would suspect — a local family man whose ordinary domestic life conceals a calculating criminal mind. Each episode peels back another layer, forcing Tom to question not just the evidence in front of him but the assumptions that shape every case he's ever worked. The closer his team gets, the more dangerous the terrain becomes — morally and physically.

Cast & crew

Mark Ruffalo anchors the series with the kind of quiet, coiled intensity he has long brought to complex dramatic roles. Tom Pelphrey brings volatility and pathos to his supporting turn, while Emilia Jones and Fabien Frankel round out the task force with distinct, lived-in characterizations. Thuso Mbedu, Raúl Castillo, Alison Oliver, and Owen Teague add further texture to a carefully assembled ensemble.

Context & significance

American procedural crime dramas have always drawn strong audiences among Persian-speaking diaspora viewers — partly for the genre's fast pacing and partly because the moral ambiguity at their core resonates across cultures. Task sits squarely in the tradition of tight, character-driven FBI thrillers: the kind of series where the investigative machinery matters less than the human cost of the work. For viewers streaming outside Iran who enjoy grounded, dialogue-heavy crime television in the vein of The Wire or Mindhunter, this is a natural next watch. Task is available with Persian dubbing, making it fully accessible without any language barrier.
