Bates Motel tv series

"[Review 5th Season]: Everything that makes 'Bates Motel' great connects to what initially fascinated us about 'Psycho'." 

"[Review 5th Season]: The two leads have never been better, and (...) 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. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"[Review 5th Season]: The first four seasons of 'Bates Motel' made a meal (...) of laying out how that transition could have happened (...) What (...) [the] excellent season 5 premiere seeks to explain is why." 

"There’s more than enough intrigue and entertainment--on top of Farmiga’s outstanding turn--to keep viewers wanting more of this new-style nonhomage to 'Psycho'" 

"The producers do keep things interesting, for the most part without resorting to the cheap tricks that have characterized the vastly overrated 'American Horror Story'. Nevertheless, the premise becomes its own creative prison" 

"'Bates Motel' turns out to be a worthy reimagining of the Norman Bates story" 

"For now (...) the credibility issues don't matter that much because we're more interested in the characters, who may not be all that credibly created themselves, but who are informed by Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece"
