‘The Third Day’ review: Creepy puzzle-box show is short and sweetly disturbing


‘Why do I have a blanket wrapped around me when this story arc is called Summer? Ah ... England.’

As creepy puzzle-box TV shows go, there have certainly been creepier ones (David Lynch’s original Twin Peaks run) and also more drawn-out, unsatisfying examples (Lost) than The Third Day, HBO’s new miniseries which makes its debut on Tuesday.

Given its novel format (we’ll get to that later) and relatively short length, however, there is not too much time on creators Felix Barrett and Dennis Kelly’s hands – and it’s good to see they have made the most of it.
