"▪️UPDATE: I completed watching the entire series & this entire series was almost a 5/5 for me…. Seasons 1-4 were 5/5…. I didn’t want this series to end, so of course the last season was the season I liked the least (because they had to wrap it up and certain people got killed off, etc. 😭). I loved ALL the main characters & actors 🖤 This was such a FANTASTIC production 🙌
▪️ORIGINAL COMMENT:
I should’ve binged and finished all 50 episodes way back in 2016 when I was watching it with my daughter — she graduated & went off to college that year, and I must’ve gotten too busy right after that with my son’s after-school activities, life, etc… But I definitely would LOVE to be able to stream it someday & finish it, because every episode of the first 3 seasons we watched together were sooooo good!!! 🙀"
"I loved the first couple seasons but by the last it became a little far fetched. Recommend binging this though! "

"An electrifying prequel to "Psycho", this contemporary spin mixed with the original vintage roots throughout will have you hooked & strangely rooting for young Norman! Stunning performances by Vera Farmiga & Freddie Highmore. I'm rewatching this series w/my older teen daughter & it's even better the 2nd time around!!!! (Free only on Peacock)"
"Compelling vision of Norman Bates’s backstory. Vera Farmiga walks a fine line between comedy and pathos."
