Whilst all this may have you reaching for the remote, I can say, thankfully, this series is well cast, with excellent acting talent and intelligent narrative. Nowhere good, that much is obvious, without giving anything away. Not hard to see where she might lead those who suddenly find her in their lives. Ivy, a plant that twists and turns and smothers. Naming the main character Ivy is a bit obvious, too. You can pretty much predict the likely plot twists and turns. Is Ivy Moxham, the abducted girl, who and what she claims to be? Does she have an ulterior motive or some other nefarious intent, lurking in the background for her relieved but confused family and friends? Will the two intrepid British detectives uncover some hidden, awful truth? In other words, Thirteen is not really doing anything terribly original. All the obvious questions bubble to the surface yet again. Thirteen taps into the much overdone "I'm back after vanishing for an inexplicable period of time", mystery crime drama, sub genre.
