Just perfect...

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

So, someone decided to throw out everything we know about police work, how victims of abductions are treated, the law and the media in high profile cases.Then they wrote Thirteen.Sure, its riveting if you can ignore all the inaccuracies. But there's a problem - there are far too many to ignore.A victim wouldn't be brought in for questioning without a lawyer present.
A victim wouldn't be subjected to dozens of interviews where she was blamed for her abduction.
The media would leak every aspect of her case, everyday.
Someone would eventually agree to sue the police on her behalf.
No real policeman would suggest that a victim go to meet her abductor alone.
No real policeman would set up a meeting at a mall, and not cover the service entrances.
No victim would get through this many police interviews without falling apart on day 3.
No police chief would back up a theory that victims of stockholm syndrome should be arrested to force their cooperation in a case they have failed at consistently for thirteen years.Here's the thing. Thirteen isn't just fiction. It's terrible fiction. It just happens to feature enough good acting to keep you watching. But somewhere a little girl is wondering if this is the treatment she's in store for if she ever becomes a victim and unfortunately, she may believe this is how it's going to play out.

..this is BBC crime-drama at its best...
..all the way through, right up to the very end..
..the writing and acting is perfect....this is a story having been told many times before..
..but this time in a way that lets you feel is fresh....for a young actor only 25 years old..
..she's done some substantial work.. check her credits..
..she'd be a full-fledged star in this country..
..better to stay put, and keep appearing in top notch work....bravo.. all round !!https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5159916/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2

No way she'd be treated like this! Completely ridiculous storyline....

If you agree with victim blaming, this series is for you. Let me say that Jodie Comer is hugely talented in the role of Ivy. That makes watching Thirteen even more difficult watch. The police in this drama are horrifying, their attitudes are like law enforcement from the 1950s; though I'm not sure that even detectives from that decade would act this horribly. A 13-year-old is kidnapped and held captive in a basement for thirteen years yet the police try harder to implicate the child than the abductor through most of the series. It is completely unbelievable that the police would treat a sexual assault survivor in this manner. I really only kept watching because of the performance by Comer and several other actors, specifically her family members. I'm sorry that they drew me in because this series angered me more than anything. Don't waste your time
