Rare is the movie adaptation that is not just excellent, but which becomes its own radiant achievement. It doesn’t seem too early to bestow that praise upon Bates Motel.
-
Everything that makes Bates Motel great connects to what initially fascinated us about “Psycho.”
-
The show satisfyingly keeps up that ultra-creepy vibe. [24 Feb/3 Mar 2017, p.90]
-
The most merrily macabre yet. [27 Feb - 5 Mar 2017, p.17]
-
This final incarnation of Bates Motel still has all the strengths of the earlier years, but now with a real sense of shape and purpose.
-
It’s moody, emotional, tense, and occasionally absolutely horrifying. Like Norman, it is not to be underestimated.
-
Season 5 of Bates Motel gets off to a great start as the show continues to build its own legacy as a re-telling and not a remake.
-
The Norma-Norman plots made up the best parts of the series and then there was everything else. In this final season, the show seems better focused because now all the plots feature Norman at the center.
