The hum in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, isn’t sirens so much as the grind of a garbage truck at dawn and the scrape of a window after dark. “Task” lives there, in a neighborhood that knows its people by what they throw away, where they go or don’t go to church, then shoves them onto a collision course. One side is a scuffed-up task force working out of a seized row house, and the other is a desperate crew that’s invisible until it isn’t. The engine isn’t a whodunit. It’s the slow, sick feeling of when. The series follows an FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) who heads a task force to put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspected family man (Tom Pelphrey).

Joining Bingeworthy are creator Brad Ingelsby (“Mare of Easttown”), and stars Emilia Jones (“Coda,” “Locke & Key”), Tom Pelphrey (“Ozark,” “Outer Range”), and Sylvia Dionicio (“FBI: Most Wanted”). During the interviews, Ingelsby smiles at the comparison some fans have been making from the start with Michael Mann’s heist epic, “Heat.” “That’s what we say. It’s like a blue-collar ‘Heat.’ This is very Delco, garbage collectors robbing kind of scuzzy houses, and Tom Brandis is not a very skilled investigator,” Ingelsby says. “The tension is, you want one to get away and you want the other to catch him. Those things can’t coexist. This is a collision-course show.”
