Did anyone watch Bates Motel?

Post Reply New Topic

I had to watch it because the main character is based on the motel owner in the movie Psycho, the one with the creepy shower stabbing scene. I always liked that horror movie, for a horror because it was actually scary, like sometimes I still get nervous about getting in the shower if I am by myself even though I saw it years ago. I kind of thought the show might act as kind of a prequel but it really didn't...it was an original series with a character based on him. Anyways I thought it was really good, certainly disturbing. But basically ended up being a kind of drama/thriller of a kid, his unhealthy relationship with his over-protective mother and some dark things in the past that finally drive him to insanity. Certainly one of those shows that is hard to stop watching once you start.

eh

Yes, I really enjoyed it. I thought the acting was superb.

Some of the story lines were a little over the top, but overall I enjoyed it.

Freddy Highmore is one of my favourite actors. He captured the essence of Anthony Perkins but didn't do an all out cheesy imitation.

I really thought he played Norman acting as his mother well. He had her mannerisms down to a tee.

No, never.

I'm sorry I couldn't help but find the series hilarious

I know people irl have DID but idk something about It made me laugh. Mainly when.norman dresses as Norma

I watched the first season. It was okay, but not great.

I'm not impressed by Hitchcock's old movies TBH. Recently rewatched The Birds, found it really boring.

I haven't seen Netflix's remake of Psycho, wonder if it's any good...
