Is the third day any good?

I'm not usually big on the supernatural stuff, but the first episode has my attention. Jude Law is strong, and some of the islanders are interesting.

I read that the first 3 (of 6) episodes focus on the Jude Law character, then the next ones shift focus to other characters. Not sure if it all comes together in the end.

It's set in Osea Island, which is a real island of the coast of England that is accessible by a road that goes under water twice a day. You have to wait for the tide to get in or out. It has an interesting history, and some of it is worked into the show.
