Title: Bates Motel
Post by: thalaw2 on April 19, 2013, 12:06:51 PM
Classic Psycho has been brought into the 21st century as a TV series.  I've been watching this show as a replacement for Alphas (since it got canceled.....waaaayyyy prematurely).  Anyway, I like the take on the story of Norman Bates so far.  The writing is nothing on par with Hitchcock, but at least it's good enough to keep me coming back for more.  I also think it's cool that the show is filmed in Universal Studios Hollywood (props to Universal for finding a way to use that old set for more than something to pass on the tram ride). 

I hope this show lasts long enough to see how Norman evloves into the older Psycho version of himself from the Hitchcock era.

I really like the show, too. It's got a Twin Peaks-meets-The OC-vibe and is (so far) quite unpredictable.
