Bates Motel






I have been following the new psychological thriller TV series "Bates Motel" and so far it’s very, very good. Vera Farmiga provides a wonderfully nuanced performance as Norma, Norman's domineering mother. Freddie Highmore is a dead-ringer for a young Anthony Perkins. The series begins after the death of Norma's husband, when she purchases a motel located in a coastal Oregon town so she and Norman can start a new life.This is no American Horror Story. There are no ghosts or goblins here; Just one boy's forming psyche that eventually turns him Psycho. I am very excited to see where the writers take it. The stock is very cool. The show looks old but has a fresh and 21st century feel to it. It is well shot and the plot twists so far have been incredible. The hints at the movie are awesome as well. They are so subtle but really do it justice. Every monday night at 10 P.M. on AE a new episode premiers and I am very excited to watch the progression of this.
