Marianne (2019-)

A horror writer returns to her hometown after the witch in her novels reappears in her life.

An effective horror series, with common elements to the story in It (childhood monster, revisited as an adult, adventures with a close group of friends both in childhood and as adults). It combines mysterious and comical elements to achieve a coherent and intriguing story. The suspense is well maintained and the fear becomes tangible quite often.
It's a pity that it cannot be found and enjoyed in the original language, without being dubbed in English, which would have worked much better for the story and its audio effects. It was a similar case with Zone Blanche (9/10).

It's been announced in the news that Netflix won't make a second season, though it doesn't seem to be officially acknowledged.

Production: Netflix
With: Victoire Du Bois, Tiphaine Daviot, Lucie Boujenah, Patrick d'Assumçao

Rating: 8/10
