      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      With a sufficiently arresting atmosphere and captivating performances from stars Jude Law and Naomie Harris, The Third Day is an intriguing - if overly familiar - addition to the folk-horror genre.

      Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) This is a bold, bonkers, and beautifully crafted piece of storytelling. Rated: 4/5 Dec 29, 2020 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au The six-episode series is part-thriller, part-horror and all-anxiety. Dec 8, 2020 Full Review Ashlie D. Stevens Salon.com Shows like HBO's The Outsider and films like The Curse of La Llorona have recently trod similar ground, but based on it unique form and finale payoff, The Third Day viewers should allow themselves to be lured onto Osea Oct 21, 2020 Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground The Third Day is a striking piece of folk-horror TV all round, but what often proves most staggering is its constant ability to immerse its audience so firmly in its characters' headspace. Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Daniel Seddon NME (New Musical Express) It might not blow anybody's socks off but for those who choose to stick by it, next month's finale promises a mouthwatering - if, likely ill-fated - climax. Rated: 3/5 Jul 8, 2021 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL Third Day is elevated in its knowingness and also by a cast that includes Jude Law, Naomie Harris, Emily Watson and Paddy Considine...the series doesn't reinvent anything, but it's good, eerie fun.

      Matthew S Unique and exciting. This show is so dreamy and addictive it really pulls the viewer in and doesn't let go! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Gareth v A series that doesn't really kick into gear until it's second half and even then it remains disappointing. It builds the atmosphere nicely, but the plot comes across as a second rate Wickerman and leaves too many questions unanswered. One of the most disappointing shows of 2020. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review jenaro v Me gustan los thrillers psicológicos y este no es la excepción, me gusta la estética de la serie con la saturación de los colores que da una visión del estado mental de Sam (que grande Jude Law), pero para quienes vimos los 6 capítulos de corrido se siente un hueco importante entre el 3ro y 4to que nunca se cuenta que es el supuesto festival que se iba a realizar, después si tienes ganas de investigar (mi caso) te das cuenta que HBO hizo un streaming de 12h con los eventos del festival pero sin embargo eso no esta en el material de la serie y es algo importante a contar, eso es lo que más le resto a la serie, de resto es cast es genial, los giros argumentales son muy buenos e impactantes y aunque por momentos se hace lenta, sobre todo en el principio, sirve para aumentar el dramatismo y la ansiedad en el espectador. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Mark O Complexity for the sake of saying "isn't that interesting?"instead of serving the story. Moody, mysterious, just not coherent. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/01/21 Full Review Audience Member It looks like folk horror at first, but it's really trying to show how a feudal/monarchical succession struggle would look in the 'modern' world Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show was like a heavy weight of anxiety driven tension in the best possible way. There is always something hidden and something darker than the last. What is most impressive about The Third Day is despite doing the "fish out of water" bit 2 times in one 6 episode miniseries, the setting and characters work so well that both times were successfully pulled off and set up 2 additional episodes respectively. Osea proves to be a dreadful place filled with dreadful people. Its clutches grasp some and others fight for their survival. The Third Day is not perfect, but it is infinitely fascinating.
