Bates Motel' Season 5 Review

... ultimately meaningless subplot), but it’s one that has always featured an exceptional cast and a very well-honed sense of atmosphere and mystery. And in this final season, it is bringing all of the characters it introduced us to over the years into Norman’s vortex. But the first thing that has to be addressed, of course, is Norma (Vera Farmiga). Even though we knew her death was coming, since Bates Motel was always meant to finish with the events of Psycho, it was still a huge blow to lose Norma at the end of Season 4 even though we also knew that she would live on in Norman’s (Freddie Highmore) mind. Thankfully, Season 5 Head-Norma is more developed and less outrageous than Head-Norma of the past. She feels more like the real Norma, except in those moments where she cooly talks about disposing of a body, or fixates on Norman’s whereabouts in relation to a crush he has. Head-Norma has always been an exaggeration of the real thing, but it makes sense that now that real Norma is ...

Tune Into Bates Motel And Shock Over Upcoming Ahs Theme

... way to celebrate than to assure Mc Graw Ryan Murphy intends to make the most of the past election in the upcoming installment of American Horror Story. Fans have already started making cool artwork in support of it. I was pleased to hear Mc Graw watched and enjoyed Big Little Lies Season 1 Episode 1 , which I gave a stellar review. You guys haven't checked in with me if you've watched, which is a bit disappointing. We can only make recommendations and hope you take them. Another new show that premiered last night on HBO was Crashing, and both Mc Graw and I agreed it was well done and funny. From Pete Holmes (and starring the same), it's a look at the burgeoning career of a stand-up comedian. Since it's from HBO and affiliated with Judd Apatow, with it comes degrading circumstances both comical and cringe-worthy. The best shows you're not ...

Ehrin spilled on Rihanna's guest role on this season, saying the "Needed Me" singer delivered. "She was an incredibly sweet and hard-working person, and we couldn't be more thrilled," Ehrin  said. Season four ended with the death of Norma, of course, as the series was always meant to lead up to the events of the film. In season five, the show will explore Norma inside Norman's head and his transformation. "It will be re-establishing new rules and lots of that is going to take place in Norman's mind because Norma is actually dead, but to him she's not. So how that manifests itself throughout the whole season is incredibly exciting," Highmore teased the new season to Gold Derby. Source: A&E/You Tube. With Rihanna stepping in as Crane, the show ...

Bates Motel Season-premiere Recap

... The two leads have never been better, and showrunner/episode writer Kerry Ehrin sets the stage for the final arc of this classic mother-and-son duo as she links Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho to her vision of Bates Motel. It’s going to be a fun season. It may not have been completely intentional, but “Dark Paradise” includes the kind of bait-and-switch that Hitchcock would have loved. For weeks now, A&E has been advertising the arrival of Rihanna as Marion Crane , the doomed traveler played by Janet Leigh in the classic film. She’s nowhere to be found in this premiere, but fans of the film likely perked up at the mention of another name: Loomis. We may not be getting the Bates Motel iteration of Marion quite yet, but we are getting its bizarre take on Marion’s lover, Sam Loomis. In Psycho, Sam was a divorced hardware store owner played by John ...
