Requests - Bates Motel Campaign Thread: "Well, a boy's best friend is his mother."

SkateGirl88 · 03-28-2013, 07:27 PM

Bates Motel is an American drama television series developed for television by Carlton Cuse, Kerry Ehrin and Anthony Cipriano for A&E.
The series, inspired by the novel Psycho by Robert Bloch and Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film of the same name, depicts the life of Norman Bates
and his mother Norma prior to the events portrayed in Hitchcock's film, albeit in a different fictional town
("White Pine Bay, Oregon," as opposed to the film's "Fairvale, California") and in a modern, 21st-century setting.
The series begins after the death of Norma's husband, when she purchases a motel located in a coastal Oregon town so she and Norman can start a new life.

Sounds like it could be really interesting or really bad.

Did any fan of the original Psycho watch it? I'm still on the fence because I remember how awful the sequels and the remake were.

Besides, Carlton Cuse is a producer, makes me more sceptical.

Please add me to the list. I'm loving the show so far

I never watched the sequels but I thought the remake was awful.

Vince Vaughn was just awful as Bates.

Psycho 2 was decent enough but it was bad when compared to the original.

I think I'm going to give it a try eventually because I'm a fan of Vera Farmiga's work.
