"Thirteen" BBCA mini-series (Summer 2016) *Spoilers*

**Spoilers allowed for any episode which has aired in the US**

Anyone watching? I watched the first episode last night, and was impressed.

Thirteen is a BBC mini-series (fictional). Already aired over there. On BBCA here in the US. Five episodes, one season only. It's about a 13 yr old girl who was abducted in 2003, and never heard from again. In 2016, she escapes.

Quote:

BBC America's Thirteen, which premieres Thursday, chooses to stay in the present (without flashbacks), keeping the procedural aspects as secondary elements and instead giving full attention to the fragility of memory, of imperfect victimhood and the collateral damage to almost everyone associated with the crime in a steady, stark but intuitively sensitive way gives this limited series maximum impact. And at the center is a particularly interesting and peculiar performance from Thirteen's star, Jody Comer (Doctor Foster), who plays Ivy, a girl kidnapped 13 years earlier in Britain who flees into an entirely different world as a 26-year-old.

First episode did a great job setting the table. Lead actress is well cast. This is not Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, but a very different perspective on kidnapping and return to society.
