Too much of everything

Strong and Moving!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Dreadfully Boring

Did anyone count how many times the words "I'm sorry " were used in this series by Norman "alone", or "can I speak with you in private" .....however... mom Bates does a good acting job. As big of a nerd as he is (Norman)....How does this guy get two girls after him? His acting is pretty good too.

Bates Motel is a binge worthy, down and dirty, yet artfully crafted masterpiece. Add the talents of Vera Farmiga, Freddie Highmore and Nestor Carbonell and you have the holy grail.The story line is well thought out- the acting is superb, the texture dark and frightening.Vera Farmiga is probably the most under rated actor in the business. She is similar to a shape shifter, able to morph into something unique to the part she is playing. I guess that is the definition of " great actor " She reminds me of that line from a song by Billy Joel, " She has a way about her "That way is pleasing, both to the eye, and to the soul.And as for Freddie Highmore, as I watched him develop the character, I began to believe that he really was insane. Great acting.Nestor Carbonell as Sheriff Romero. Everything you believe a Sheriff should be-a rough, tough, take no prisoners type of guy.Things he did weren't always on the up and up, or even legal- but you found yourself still rooting for the guy.Catch this show. You will find yourself thoroughly satisfied.

Norma Bates, the mother, is who I watched, but into third season the characterization, as in dress or ideas, doesn't change. It becomes redundant. Then Norman Bates is allowed to kill anyone who smokes a cigarette or who looks sexy. Again, who writes this stuff.

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
