A 16-year-old named Penelope walks away from a school camping trip, leaves her parents a hurried voicemail, and heads into the Washington woods to live alone with almost nothing but basic gear.
Starring Megan Stott
Slow-TV people who would rather watch someone puzzle over a knot than hear anyone explain a feeling will be at home here. Megan Stott holds the screen with her face alone, and the camera lingers on the woods around her. One long stretch follows her through a full day of trial and error with a survival guidebook and plain stubbornness, getting things wrong until they work.
The first episode sets the pace for the rest, and it is slow, so if it doesn't hold you, stop there.
