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

Michael G LISTEN CAREFULLY TO ONLY THIS REVIEW... "MARIANNE" IS SIMPLY PUT.. ONE OF THE BEST HORROR TELEVISION SERIES EVER MADE! While it's true you can find theatrical motion pictures throughout the decades that can compete with or are superior to MARIANNE... you CANNOT find another horror TV Series that is better than MARIANNE. The Acting, Direction, Cinematography, Editing, Soundtrack, Locations, and Story are ALL THEATRICAL FILM QUALITY. You simply never see a tv series this stylishly made. Watching MARIANNE you realize early on that the creators are extremely familiar with some of the greatest cult horror movies in cinema history. Images from movies like : THE EXORCIST, THE EXORCIST III, SINISTER, HEREDITARY, THE DARK HALF, MISERY, IT, THE SENTINEL, THE WITCH, EVIL DEAD, THE ANTICHRIST, and The Original A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET all appear in segments of MARIANNE, and when you take from the Best, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG. One can only wonder if the show had been better advertised and promoted if more viewers would have discovered it. How thrilling another season would have been. As it is, just watch it like you'd watch an 8 Hour Horror Movie and you're Not likely to forget it anytime soon. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Balázs B It is not terrifying at all. It is slow and weird... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review David L Awesome. Very absorbing, linking numerous classic horror threads and themes. Very enjoyable and some what scary. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
