Thirteen Review

Welcome back to my blog

Today is a review on Thirteen. A British TV show that is on Netflix. 

Thirteen is about 26 year Ivy who at the age of 13 was taken and spent 13 years  locked away. 

After escaping ivy is reunited with her family and meets with a school friend. 

She is continually questioned by the police about what happened and they discover that Ivy has lied to them about being aloud out among other things. 

Many of the actors have been in other tv shows that I've watched and I find that they have acted better in those shows. I'm not saying the acting is bad but it's not great. 

Ivy has typical Stockholm syndrome where she is still has some sort of feelings towards the man who kidnapped her. 

After a while it became super predictable. But apart from that there is nothing special about this series. I've never watched anything like it before in the aspect of someone returning after so many years but the police aspect is what you expected.  And that after not even watching all of the episodes. 

It's that predictable that two cops have tension between them. That one cop is the 'bad' cop that doesn't follow the rules. Also it was predictable that it would be Ivy as the one who would have to go after capture to release the other girl who he'd taken.  

I wanted to love this series but really I couldn't. It was just plain predictable on pretty much everything. 

It had elements of other similar police dramas all rolled into one. It just wasn't different and I like different. 

So that's it. Not a super long review or anything.
