The French-language horror series 'Marianne', which holds a perfect 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, continues to terrify viewers on Netflix. The eight-episode show, released in 2019, has been hailed by fans as the 'best horror TV show ever made'.
The plot follows horror author Emma Larsimon, played by Victoire Du Bois, as she returns to her hometown in the French countryside. She soon discovers that the characters from her successful books are manifesting in the real world, with an evil spirit wreaking havoc.
Critical consensus describes the series as 'smart and scary with the most unsettling pair of eyes since Nicolas Cage in Vampire's Kiss', calling it 'pure nightmare fuel'. Fans have praised its terrifying nature, with one viewer noting that the first three episodes are 'one of the scariest things I've ever seen', nearly reducing a seasoned horror fan to tears.
The cast includes Lucie Boujenah, Tiphaine Daviot, Ralph Amoussou, and Bellamine Abdelmalek, with Délia Espinat-Dief portraying the titular character Marianne. The show has been compared favourably to Mike Flanagan's 'The Haunting of Hill House' as one of the best horror series of the decade.
