With Halloween just around the corner, now is the perfect time to dive into one of the spookiest TV series out there. Viewers are raving about this show, calling it "perfect" for horror fans. The series, Marianne, premiered on Netflix back in 2019 and has been making waves ever since. With a rating of 15 and over, it's definitely not for the faint-hearted.
The story follows Emma Larsimon, a famous writer who is drawn back to her hometown. Little does she know, the terrifying spirit that has been haunting her dreams since childhood is wreaking havoc in the real world. Victoire Du Bois stars as Emma, who has been selling stories about her character Lizzie Larck fighting a demon named Marianne. But when Emma returns home and her worst fears become a reality, she must confront the evil that has been plaguing her.
Despite its reputation as one of the scariest shows ever, critics have praised Marianne as a "perfect recommendation for any horror fan." The series has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an impressive 85% audience review score. Reviewer Touissant Egan described it as a combination of Stephen King's It and Misery, with spine-chilling visuals and a gripping storyline.
TV Guide's Tim Surette also had high praise for the series, stating that the eight episodes are "perfectly equipped to chop lesser horror shows up into little bits and keep you up all night." And Kylie Klein-Nixon wrote that Marianne is "compelling, mysterious, and, above all, creepy as hell" and that once you start watching, it's hard to look away.
But it's not just the critics who are hooked. Audiences have been raving about the series as well. Twitter user @ilovemusic555 called it a "memorizing masterpiece" and said they were blown away. Another viewer declared it the "best horror TV series," while another praised its atmosphere, scares, and music.
One of the standout elements of the show is Victoire Du Bois's performance as Emma. @FreddyInSpace, a horror critic, described her as "sensational" and declared that she is the one thing most horror films and shows would kill for: a compelling main character.
The first season of Marianne ends with a shocking revelation that Emma was actually possessed by the spirit of Marianne herself. The series then takes a surprising turn as Emma discovers the true Marianne's grave. Needless to say, fans were eagerly anticipating a second season to see where the story would go next.
Unfortunately, Netflix announced that they would not be renewing the series for a second season. Showrunner Samuel Bodin had plans for a second season that would explore the theme of love and feature a new, sophisticated love interest for Emma. He also hinted at a possible pregnancy arc for Emma, as she comes to terms with being impregnated by the demonic spirit.
Bodin revealed that he wanted Marianne to be a feminist show, tackling issues surrounding women's bodies and their rights. He also wanted to explore the theme of adoption and the complexities that come with it. While fans may be disappointed that the show will not continue, it's clear that Marianne made a lasting impact on viewers and critics alike.
