Marianne has received a mixture of praise and critique from various reviewers. Rotten Tomatoes awarded the series a fresh rating, highlighting its 'eerie atmosphere and compelling storyline' that 'delivers the chills in a way few horror shows do.' IMDb users gave it a solid rating of 7.4/10, with many applauding Victoire Du Bois' 'captivating performance' and the show’s 'masterful use of suspense.' On the other hand, some critics on Metacritic pointed out that the series can be 'a slow burn' and 'lacks character depth,' which 'might not cater to all horror aficionados' preferences.' For instance, one critique states, 'While Marianne excels in creating a creepy ambiance, it occasionally stumbles in narrative pacing.' Nevertheless, fans of the horror genre who enjoy a blend of psychological and supernatural elements seem to appreciate this series for its originality and visual storytelling.
