First season wrapped that plot line up so I assume a 2nd season would be a whole new story, hopefully also wrapped up in a season. I quite like a crime drama where stories don’t bleed over or end on cliff hangers.
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy a Mark Ruffalo cop show, but I did and I’d watch a second series for sure.
Series are made to make money (among other objectives) -- another season is rarely if ever greenlit based on whether the story actually needs another season.
I can easily see his character solving a new case (or task), while also facing new struggles at home and internally leading to further character development
It's really as simple as Ingelsby is really talented and wanted to make more so HBO gave him the easiest yes ever and threw in Mahershala Ali for his trouble.
I like shows that are one season. Prison Break was excellent. True Detective? Perfect show. 24 was fun as hell. Squid Games was pretty solid. Sometimes I think about where those shows could have gone if they made more seasons. Too bad we’ll never know.
Honestly I'm with you. I really loved Task. I thought it was one of the best shows I've seen in years. I recommended it to more people than other shows I've recently seen, and they all also loved it. Every line of dialogue, the overarching story, the acting, the cinematography, the score. But I did love it as a limited series, under the assumption it was a once off and fully enclosed, unique story.

He was acting in another project during the promotional period and wasn’t available at the time, unsure what the implication is either.
