Switching from subdued to rageful, actor Jodie Comer convinces you both Ivy's fears and her feral side. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

For a crime story it is unusually gentle and generous toward its characters; it is not cynical or despairing--indeed, it is in the end a love story, or rather, several interlocking love stories set in contrast to the pathological mockery of one. Read full review

Tim Goodman

The pacing, the writing, the directing all contribute to making Thirteen seem unusually fresh within the framework of a familiar story, but there's no getting around the fact that Comer, as Ivy, absolutely seizes the opportunity here to be daring. Read full review

Thirteen is an occasionally horrifying, mostly captivating look at how a woman tries to grow up after not having the chance to. [24 Jun 2016, p.53]

Comer’s performance--as a 26-year-old stunted as a 13-year-old--is beautiful. She can be endearing, mystifying and aggravating, sometimes in the same moment. She’ll keep you coming back to a mystery that grows darker with every revelation. Read full review

The performances of the entire cast of Thirteen, and by Comer in particular, counterbalance many but not all of the weak spots in the over-plotted script. Read full review

Gwen Ihnat

Jun 23, 2016

An intriguing miniseries could be made about Stockholm syndrome, but this isn’t it. Instead, it’s just a pale, murky example of how an artistic surface can’t gloss over an unconvincing foundation of plot and characters underneath. Read full review

Thirteen is worth the time. The problem is it is one of the worst portrayals of UK police. Its not that they aren't good but stupid at almost every turn they take the wrong turn. Even citizens who try to help do stupid things. It gives you the ability to know what will happen next before it happens.

I have a sense that I have seen this story before whether as part of a mystery series from the UK or as a stand alone. I know all the twists and turns before they happen. That being said I find "Thirteen" a good mini-series although with some serious flaws. The actress playing the motherI have a sense that I have seen this story before whether as part of a mystery series from the UK or as a stand alone. I know all the twists and turns before they happen. That being said I find "Thirteen" a good mini-series although with some serious flaws. The actress playing the mother is terrible and annoying. I am not sure whether it is the writing, direction or acting but she ruins every scene she is in. The rest of the cast is quite good especially the actors who play Tim and the sister. Unfortunately there are many implausible scenes such as when Ivy is allowed to go alone to see Tim at his bar at night while the cop sits in the car. Also in the first episode while interviewing Ivy the female cop leaves to help the mother make tea leaving Ivy alone with the male cop. Really? The story itself is well written and interesting though but not up to the standards of most mysteries/police dramas from the UK.… Expand

The long term plotting--hell, the writing overall is the ultimate letdown in this series. There are aspects that will have you rolling your eyes. Fat that could have been cut out. The actors did the best they could with what they were given--down to every man it seemed. Yet, the show stopperThe long term plotting--hell, the writing overall is the ultimate letdown in this series. There are aspects that will have you rolling your eyes. Fat that could have been cut out. The actors did the best they could with what they were given--down to every man it seemed. Yet, the show stopper was Jodie Comer. If there is any reason to watch this series, she is it. The direction was clean throughout. Unfocused--would be my only biggest problem. It tries to go in too many directions.… Expand

This is an entertaining series, but is horrible. Is all about the police re victimizing a kidnapped girl over and over again. Don't think it is a good thing. Horrible.
