I can't yet tell you if Marianne turns out to be classy trick or a clever treat. But I'm looking forward to finding out, from my safe, dry spot behind the sofa. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
'Marianne' takes risks, changes focus on the characters, switches villains, allies... it's never repetitive and makes each episode feel like a movie... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Toussaint Egan Polygon 10/28/2021
With a decidedly Stephen King-esque inspired premise that feels like a combination of It and Misery and viscerally unsettling visuals edited with hair-raising precision, Marianne is a perfect recommendation for any horror fan. Go to Full Review
Tim Surette TV Guide 12/03/2019
The eight episodes of Marianne are all perfectly equipped to chop lesser horror shows up into little bits and keep you up all night. Give it a watch; you can curse me later. Go to Full Review

Cali C @RT23455853 May 23 IT"S DUBBED! FRENCH SHOW! So sick of these platforms pushing non English programming! It NOT racist to want to understand the words in there real voice. See more babarizam D @RT59932316 May 11 Lead character (Emma) is so dislikeable that I felt whatever was happening to her justified. I finished the whole show in few hours. See more Maria S @MariaSaavedraV Mar 14 What an incredible show. I’ve been a horror fan for over 40 years, and it’s rare for something to feel this original. The story is unlike anything I’ve seen before and keeps you constantly unsettled. The atmosphere is dark, unique, and genuinely frightening. And the actress who plays the old Marianne gives one of the most chilling performances I’ve seen in a long time. Absolutely outstanding See more Larry S @RT36499460 Sep 26 I didn't realise students could upload their terrible media projects to Netflix. See more Gurbakshish S @RT85095073 Sep 14 It was seriously unsettling and creepy as hell. The whole vibe is super eerie, and some scenes actually gave me chills. See more Red M @RT03421814 06/15/2025 The series is actually so disgusting in some scenes, so stupid and such an amateur horror series. I highly do not recommend watching it. It’s a waste of time. Or if you wanna watch it so bad you can finish it in a day or two anyways. Also I found out season 2 is getting cancelled or smth so even worse. See more Read all reviews
