Suffice to say, people are loving it – even if it is wreaking havoc with their sleep patterns.

With Halloween on the horizon, now seems the perfect time to get stuck into this terrifying TV series. However, we recommend you don’t watch it alone – especially as psychologists have proven time and time again that watching horror films as part of a group is a surefire route to happiness.

As Jeffrey Goldstein, a psychology professor and expert in violence and entertainment at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, notes: “People who consume violent and scary entertainment rarely do it alone. Going as a group helps ground you in reality, and you can compare your reactions with others and show others that you are strong enough to take it.”

So, call your friends up, get the popcorn in and settle down to watch Marianne. You’ll be ecstatic – even if it does wreak havoc with your insomnia!

Marianne is streaming now on Netflix.
