Approx length: 8 episodes, each one is roughly 50 minutes.
Where to find it: Netflix. If you don't speak French, I highly recommend watching the original with subtitles rather than the dub, but you do you!
What is it, in summary?
A French horror series about a successful novelist who decides to quit writing the books that made her famous. Emma Larsimon based the books on her childhood nightmares about a witch, the eponymous Marianne. Unfortunately for Emma, Marianne is more than just a figment of her imagination and she's not happy that her infamy is being cut short. The death of a childhood friend draws Emma back to her coastal home town of Elden, where she must confront Marianne and her past.
What do you love about it?
Horror tropes, many done in fresh new ways! A female lead who is complicated and not always likeable but not a Badass Woman stereotype! Found family! Realistic portrayal of teenagers! Mireille Herbstmeyer gives a horrifyingly wonderful performance! There's a lot of underlying themes of trauma and friendship and forgiveness, also dysfunctional relationships and how they can't always be fixed, which I appreciated. Plus Camille and Emma are so cute!
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?
Emma/Camille is by far my favourite ship for this show. Camille is Emma's long-suffering, flick-knife-carrying assistant. I love her, and hopefully, you will too. She and Emma have wonderful chemistry and I was sad that they didn't get the ending I felt they deserved.
In fact, my least favourite thing about this show was the ending, and I'll definitely be requesting fix-its for that. But I'm also interested in AU takes and shippy stuff.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests?: No
