I've never written an IMDB review before but this series I had high hopes for but unfortunately the roles of the CID female and male officers are totally pathetic. Oh and the psychologist. For a start this is supposed to be present day and the two CID officers and psychologist who are left to 'handle' the investigation don't seem to have any idea of how to treat a victim or at least one of this sort. You would've thought on such a high profile case and in such extreme circumstances the Police would have specialists in this field to help the victim come to terms with being free. (You'd hope they would!) The CID officers performances because of the lack of knowledge is such so it's painful to watch especially the female officer perform her script. I just keep saying to myself (in my head) "REALLY, are they really getting you to say such things???", as she is basically accusing Ivy of being an accomplice of some sort. I mean hello 'Stockholm syndrome' !??!?! That was discovered in 1972. Ivy was captured when she was 13 a MINOR. Her role has totally ruined the watchablity of series, I'm only continuing to watch to find because I hope there will be a good ending. It's tough though!

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

I want to see the rest . these first 2 disc only left you hanging for more . I called my public library but they do not have any other ones. Please finish making these disc. This movie was wonderful . Kept you on the edge of your seat than wham it was over not telling you if the 10 year old 2 kidnapped girl is saved . I WANT MORE PLEASE ! :( My husband and I love god thrilling movies like this . We want to see if the 10 year old girl is saved by the 26 year old woman that was kidnapped by the same man for 13 years . If the 26 year old named Ivy goes to meet the man again to save the other 10 year old life we to know what happens. It is a mini series but I was told I might have to wait 1-2 years before I get to see the final part of it .That is a long time to wait to see the end of a movie !

The BBC mini-series Thirteen (available online) follows 26-year-old Ivy Moxam, who was held captive in a cellar for thirteen years. After escaping from her attacker's prison, she returns to her family home outside of London, but struggles to put her life back together. There is an uncanny resemblance to the story in the American television series, The Family.Thirteen presents the police investigation as a secondary plot and focuses on the victim's situation and psychology, touching upon the Stockholm syndrome and the fragility and unreliability of memory. Everyone closely associated with the crime is also, in some way, a victim. Read the entire review -- "Thirteen"--"An Unlucky Life" at: www.unhealedwound.com and let me know what you think!
