The Third Day viewers rage they’re ‘confused as f**k’ as Jude Law horror leaves them ‘with no clue what’s going on’
THE Third Day viewers have raged they're 'confused as f**k' as the Jude Law horror leaves them 'with no clue what's going on'.
The Sky Atlantic drama sees Jude, 47, play Sam, a man who arrives on a mysterious island off the British coast while in the throes of grief.
However the island's inhabitants soon beat him, chase him and tie him up on a number of different occasions as he tries to escape, before it is revealed his ancestors founded the island, which the residents view as 'the soul of the world'.
The islanders have been plotting for his return for years, even taking his young son and letting him believe he is dead, as well as carrying out human and animal sacrifices to try and keep the island balanced.
The plot has left many viewers struggling to understand what is going on, with many taking to Twitter to vent their frustrations.
One wrote: "The More I watch the #thethirdday the more confused I get..#sendhelp."
A second tweeted: "I have given everything I got and I am still confused AF! I have come to the conclusion you have to be smoking something really good to get this. I give up."
A third added: "Right I'm proper fucking confused with what's going on in #TheThirdDay #SkyAtlantic."
Meanwhile a fourth wrote: "Watching The Third Day on Sky Atlantic… not a f***ing clue what’s happening!!! Man shrugging#thethirdday."
The series was filmed on Osea Island near Essex, which is connected to the mainland by a sandy road which vanishes when the tide is high, meaning visitors could get stuck.

Jude recently spoke at a BAFTA Q&A and explained how things got quite tricky when shooting scenes in the water.
He said: "First of all, it’s important to know the speed this tide comes in really does put you at risk.
"And over the days and hours that we grabbed those certain scenes that take place on the causeway, we were given windows sometimes of 10-15 minutes and were caught sometimes in vehicles.
"I remember [director] Marc [Munden] and I barely making it back in the car, driving like crazy along that perilous road because the water was literally rising up around the car."
The Third Day is available to watch on Sky Atlantic.
