    This season was a mistake. If it ended on season 4, the whole series would have been better off imo.
    Season 5 was predictable, tedious, and full of really annoying plot holes. Such a disappointment.

    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.

    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.
