Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Airing on HBO and Sky Atlantic in fall 2020, The Third Day is a Folk Horror Mini Series set on the small island of Osea off England. It is split into three parts, "Summer", "Autumn", and "Winter".The first part (Summer) follows Sam (Jude Law) after he saves a young girl from hanging herself. Reminded by memories of his son's gruesome murder, Sam takes her back to her home island, Osea. He is immediately taken in by villagers (Emily Watson and Paddy Cosidine) and has a brief fling with an American woman Jess (Katherine Waterston) as he learns what the island really wants from him.The second part (Autumn) is a twelve-hour presentation that was live-streamed on Facebook on October 3, 2020. Shot in one continuous take (although with time compressed), it depicts the entirety of Osea's festival and various local rituals.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The third part (Winter) follows Helen (Naomie Harris), a Struggling Single Mother who goes to Osea in winter with her daughters several years later to unravel a mystery.

Ambiguous Ending: Jess has taken over Osea but Sam killed some of her supporters, so whether she'll allow him to continue to live is uncertain, plus her eldest daughter is clearly resentful of Jess's neglect and might attempt again to disrupt her mother's plan. And though Helen escaped with Ellie and Lu, the islanders have already proven to be able to hunt people down on the mainland and cover it up if they feel the need to, and Jess might feel her newborn daughter's place as Mother of Osea will be threatened by Sam's two other children. Ellie's prolonged stare towards Osea also implies she might wish to return to the place she felt belonging, given Helen saying she has a lot of Sam in her and we saw how he reacted to it, it probably wouldn't end well for her, even without the added danger of Jess.

Affably Evil: Mr Martin is a friendly and blandly pleasant man as well as the guy who thought up the idea to steal Nathan and murder another child to cover it up. Jess is always very friendly and even-tempered, even after she's menacing a child with a knife.

Ambiguously Bi: When discussing her past infidelities with Sam, Jess mentions she was involved with "people," not specifically men. During the pub party in the first episode she is also briefly seen jokingly spanking another woman.
