Good show. I wasn't sure they could make this a series, but I feel they are doing a pretty good job. At first I was appalled that the show differed so much from Normal Bates of Psycho fame but, I suppose, that's the only way a show like this could succeed. Anyway, it's getting good ratings for an A&E program and it's captured my interest. The show should do well in the summer months when their is much less new programming on network television.

This discovery wouldn't have something to do with Norman dressing in his mother's clothing and killing woman with a butcher knife by chance?
I do not think that the show really conflicts with the movie. There is plenty of time for Norma to die.
Tonights was pretty good. I think I need to rewatch psycho now.

Norman is definitely unglued from reality. It is an interesting take that the seems to have the two sides of his personality separated and good Norman does not remember Evil Norman.

Fantastic show tonight...stab 'em, shoot 'em, burn 'em, run 'em down. Not to mention to murder mystery, drug trade, and sex slave industry dynamic going on in addition to the Bates' family dysfunction. I love this show!
A&E is proving you don't need a big budget in order to have a quality show. Well done.
I just started watching. I'm only on the second episode, but it's good. I've never seen Pyscho, so my sister and I are thinking about renting it soon.
Pyscho is a classic. Anthon Perkins also made a pair of Psycho movies in the 80s (Psycho II and III) in which he returned to the Bates Motel as an adult years later after being successfully treated. Anyway, my parents thought the II and III movies were so-so, but I thought they were well done. Here's a clip from one of my favorite scenes. Needless to say, I ask my mother in-law if she would like a toasted cheese sandwich every time she gets out of line.

IMO, this is the susprise "hit" of the season. I honestly didnt expect much from it considering its on A&E and a "reboot, remake, prequel" but am really enjoying this series.
@Tiger... Gus Van Sant's Psycho "remake" of 1998 is literally shot frame for frame as the original Psycho except one line was added. What makes Hitchcock's version great is he had a hell of a time with the MPAA over the ratings as this was a "game changer" IMO for the horror genre.
Personally go for the original.
