This review of HBO's The Third Day Episode 5, titled "Tuesday – The Daughter," contains full spoilers. To remind yourself where we left off, read our review of The Third Day episode 4.
With this week’s penultimate installment, HBO’s The Third Day finally begins to pull taut the many, many threads creators Dennis Kelly and Felix Barrett began methodically laying out since the debut. (That was five weeks ago, but it feels like five months ago.) The result is the show’s strongest chapter (which may be something of a low bar given the mixed quality of the series so far).

The sinister underpinnings of the plot send us off in so many different and disparate directions that the concern -- as with the controversial finale of that ABC mystery --...
It’s worth reiterating that The Third Day is far too well-crafted and meticulous to feel thrown together (props once again to director Philippa Lowthorpe, who leverages every bit of atmosphere she can muster out of her overcast and gloomy location), and there are consistently strong performances throughout from both the main and featured players.
