HBO also released a new trailer for Task that strongly suggests Pelphrey’s character has personal motivation for the robberies: “I’m going to take their money so we can have a better life,” he says, seemingly referring to a biker gang that traffics drugs. Watch the trailer (which expands on an earlier teaser) below.

If the vibe feels familiar, that’s the point. Like 'Mare', this seems poised to be a finely crafted entry in the “bleak-but-prestige” crime drama genre. If that’s your thing, HBO Max has you covered starting September 7.
