Review of Marianne

This series was certainly different. Disturbing climax-like moments unfold within the first 20 minutes of episode 1 and jump scares surprise us in unpredictable places without the typical sense-assaulting sound effects we're used to. It's overall unsettling, perhaps because it's willing to "go there" to some places that American movies and series never do. More information is revealed as you go along that really does help connect the dots you're hoping for. It took me longer to get through the first four episodes than the final five, and at times it dragged a bit. It also felt like some people were unlikeable just for the sake of it. However, if you want to be unsettled, disturbed, and to even have to look away at times, give it a shot. For true horror fans who have seen literally everything out there, this is a breath of fresh air. I will say that IT did feel a little too convenient that somebody was missing for the climax of the last episode until the very end in order to land a big reveal, I won't say who, but if your mind isn't trained to notice those things like mine is, you'll be truly "gotten" by the ending. This works whether or not there's a season 2, which I liked a lot as well.
