Okay I am not going to go over the story, everyone knows that this dismal effort is meant to be the prequel of Psycho.First the limited positive things about the series, the actors, in fact most of them do a very good job at hand. Now onto the negatives, which there are quite a few:Firstly having the series set in our times and not in the 50's. Next the stories in which each series has, some are really bad. Then there is the addition of Norman's brother, not that it is the actors fault, it's not. Every time the character is on the screen, the tension leaves that episode. Also since when do attractive girls make a bee line for the new nerd, never ever has this happened.

I love this show cant believe it ended i just found it on Netflix and thought thats give it ago but then i was sucked into it straight away i couldnt stop myself from watching it episode to episode i love it, the acting is amazing and there genuinely couldn't be a better norma and norman id definitely recommend this show 100%

It gives you all the fellings and emotions is gripping the proformance of the main characters is amazing . You will love Norma . I loved the fact that I was laughing loud a black humor. Was really disappointed that it end. Love it

Bates Motel is a masterpiece, it pulls you in right from the start and me being someone who hasn't even watched Psycho did not know what to expect. It is beautifully scripted and acted, Vera plays her role of Norma Louise Bates perfectly, she is a beautiful and wonderful mother whom loves Norman more than anything in the world. Freddie Highmore can do no wrong in this show, he play Norman so well, his awkward character, his weird quirks, his insanity, its all just so beautiful to watch. Any and all of you who have watched Psycho, don't look at this as it being a redoing of the original because it will not stay completely faithful to the movies if at all on a lot of subjects, watch this as a complete and utter reimagining and reboot of the films because honestly, I know for a fact the movies cant be nearly as good as this. The way Norman progresses as we watch is just perfect, some people would say he is sick but I would say he is a "Decent" man. Honestly I look at him as a good character with a high moral compass throughout the entire show, he truly is a beautiful and complex character. The relationship between Romero and Norma is fantastic, I never know what to expect going into the next episode, seeing just how much all of the characters develop and change throughout is crazy! The ending to the series is perfect, left me crying, I cannot get over how good this show is, I never thought anything would top 'Breaking Bad' but this ties with it to be honest; It is a perfect 10/10, I don't see how it could have improved upon or done anything better.
