So after hearing some good reviews about this one, I decided to give it a shot and I ended up watching all 4 episodes inside 2 days. Wow, I'm really glad I gave this show a chance. Enjoying the story and the mystery so far, I actually haven't been pulled into a show this much for a while now. Going to keep watching this season. Gets a nice thumbs up from me.
They already got re-newed for a second season next year as well.
Anyone else watching this?

I tried to watch the first episode but I definitely did not feel comfortable with the weird mother and son relation that is going on.

 Spoiler: | Well I watched until the mom was raped by a local guy who was mad at her for buying the motel which was his fathers before they went bankrupt. I think the son was about to comfort her in a way that was about to make me throw up. That was pretty much where I thought no thanks. No idea if they actually had sex after that. |

lol, yes there is definitely some very awkward sexual tension between the mother and son, but if you can get past that its a pretty decent show.
don't want to spoil much but...

The sexual tension is intentional. His mother will die. he'll keep her body. run the motel. and kill people. Like... nobody here watched psycho?
After the 10 min preview i was all wtf is this shit. But after watching it for a while... actually a decent show. It has bits of the hitchockian suspense sprinkled around in a few episodes. Been watching it ever since.
Only drawback is that the show feels grounded in like 1950s in some scenes.... (school, the clothes, the attitude, the way they talk) and then they go back to current times with iphones and shit. It's odd, but it works.
And highmore is fucking brilliant as a creep. Plays a good Bates... would love for them to continue the show and then so an episode of the movie. Would be kick ass. But he's in highschools  Would prolly be in like 3rd season and I don't think this show will go that far.
They are pushing it heavily though. So, who knows. I'm not familiar with AE and their deadly show cancellation procedures (like NBC, ABC, FOX)

not sure if srs... psycho was never a great movie. the character, location, and the idea was awesome.
This takes the idea of the show and shows how norman bates got to where he was in the movie. and it actually works. if you have seen the movie, and if you have read the book... the 'origin' works. The relationship works... because as you have seen in the movie... Norman is a mommas boy.

Gonna have to agree to disagree on that one, but to each their own. I saw it when I was quite young and it left a lasting impression maybe.
However, I will give it a shot. With two people straight away saying its good, I will have a butchers once I finish what I am currently watching.
cheers.

I have Hannibal to watch (I usually wait until the season is over, silly American scheduling (although we are getting as bad, I'm looking at you Doctor Who))
I have this downloaded now, going to add it to the watch que

well if the uk had a set of writers per show (like 15) instead of two to three to carry the weight... we'd have 24 episodes of dr who a year... but nope... quality over quantity

Cost too we dont sped half as much money on TV shows.
Still Doctor Who looks fantastic for what it costs, and yes quality over quantity every time though

No, you guys have talent. A lot of talent. You can make brilliant tv with less than what it takes to film a pilot for NBC. 
Canada is super cheap. And it's more about quantity than quality.

just caught the season finale.
Really enjoyed the whole series, it was a pleasant surprise for me. Didn't even know about it until like the 3rd episode I think, and the only reason I checked it out was cause of some previews I saw for it.
Can't wait for season 2!

Norma is supposed to be annoying she has to have Norman wrapped around his finger. And he's supposed to feel like without him she'd die. It works. The teen drama adds to his persona that in the end the only woman in his life is his mother. He wants to break free from her spell but all the girls in his town are sluts. Except for the one interested on him. She's going to die and she'll be the first to be stuffed by him. I'm thinking season 3 Vera will die and he'll quit school to run the motel. Freddie is so good as Norman I would love a proper remake with him.
