Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald The series eschews a lot of genre tropes and tricksiness, making it all the more involving. Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Marianne is nightmares personified. Sep 19, 2019 Full Review Helen Brown Daily Telegraph (UK) 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. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2019 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof '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] Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 21, 2022 Full Review Toussaint Egan Polygon 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. Oct 28, 2021 Full Review Tim Surette TV Guide 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. Dec 3, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

steven d Look, it’s good but not brilliant. Starts off well, dips a bit in the middle. A lot of genre tropes, and myself and partner were literally predicting the scares as they happened. Good special effects, bad dialogue and cheesy cliche characters, scary and corny in parts. Struggled to finish it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review Joseph W Years later and I’m still so furious this show was cancelled. Really, really well done- whip smart, funny, stylish touching, unsettling and truly scary. What I wouldn’t give for someone/anyone to give this show the season 2 it so richly deserves. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review David J Wasn't that great, I don't see the hype. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Mike P Stephen King recommended this and he's right....it's a skillful and evocative grand guignol fever dream about a troubled horror writer, Emma, who's terrorized by her own demons ...and her own Karma. She comes home to her hometown to investigate the suicide of an old friend; who claimed Emma's books had infected her mother with an evil possession. Though it's dubbed, it still works exceedingly well. It's one of those delicious movies where you gradually realize the hero is actually the bad guy... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Kevin H Possibly the best horror series I've ever seen. I'm about to give it a rewatch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Ole S Best horror series on Netflix on the same level as Mike Flanagan’s Haunting of Hill House… which is the highest praise I can give anything!
