The storyline and psychological development of the characters are exceptional features of the show. But I can't say I love it until the end, which I begrudgingly learned after watching the entire Dexter series. So far so good. I'm interested in following this story but would like to see how it ties into the Norman we know. This kid's off but not yet the iconic Norman Bates.

I watched the first few seasons, but when Mother & Son started sleeping in the same bed, and Norman started wearing his Mother's clothes, the plot became too disturbing. As an avid Hitchcock Fan, his plot was ALWAYS the aura of SUSPENSE! Not the lurid deviance of this slasher series. The Season 5 previews look simply abhorrent!

It's a good show but not as terror filled as the original also bit slow for my taste. But actors are great. Bought season 1 but won't buy season 2 nor have I desired to even watch it yet unfortunately there are much better shows to watch.
