A&E's Bates Motel

[DenverBlood]

Oh man. Wow! Just finished the pilot episode. Did anyone else see this?

It's about Norma and Norman Bates when they first buy the house and hotel.

(For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about its the beginning for the movie Psycho. A movie legend)

First episode was awesome. And the trailer at the end for the rest of the season looks amazing.

Can't wait for next weeks episode.

Really? Noone else watched or is interested in this.

Tough crowd. Just never know what will be a hit around here.

I've got it DVR'd so I can watch it tonight ... Glad to hear though that it was good, I was hoping it would be but had my doubts.

Watched it a couple days ago on demand and loved it. Can't wait for the new episode tonight.

I have zero interest. Just as I have zero interest in "Hannibal".

If TV Networks want me to watch, they should come up with original ideas rather than piggybacking on others.

I love Psycho and I love the Hannibal Lecter Series (with the exception being Hannibal Rising). However, I have zero interest in these shows.

Great show. I really like it so far. I was a little confused at first when he was listening to an ipod, but then I realized it's set in modern time haha.

Then why bother posting in this thread?

Yeah I really love this show so far. Took me half the episode to realize it was modern day too.

I completely disagree with Charlie's viewpoint. Too many shows these days trying to be original that come up with utter crap. Like Revolution.

Personally I'm a huge fan of re-envisioning movie classics. Like how Norma and Norman Bates began. Though also with a modern day twist. And I think the two lead actors pull off the roles perfectly.

I also love that the show seems like it will have a variety of sick twisted killers that can help keep the story line going. And eventually all the insanity plus Norma will drive Norman to be a psychopath.

If he isn't already.

By the way if I didn't already say the second episode was great as well. This brother story line seems like it will be good.

Only part I haven't liked so far, is that people get hung up and burned in the middle of the day in town, deputy said that's normal revenge stuff, but they are really concerned about the drunk dude that couldn't pay for his house and motel and was a scumbag?

Well I'm sure it's related to that gang that Normans brother is getting involved with.

In a small town I'm sure everyone knows you don't mess with them and what happens if you do.

I'm sure the cops know they aren't equipped to cross them.

It's not the first show to do something like that. Sons of Anarchy come to mind where the cops turn there nose on stuff the gang does.

Im actually kinda enjoying it.

Another great episode tonight.

Normans getting really creepy. Originally I was thinking Norma was creepy and just passes it off on Norman with her demands.

I still think she is the cause but he is pretty schizo and cooky on his own aside from her.

Also I always thought the nice cop was weird but didn't see it coming as him as the crazy secret bad guy.

As DB mentioned above I really like these reinvisioning of classics.

Just watched the first 3 over the weekend. This show looks to be really good and I've quite enjoyed the first few episodes, wish I would have been more proactive to record it.

I've seen Psycho a while back, since I always heard that it was a classic. But is this new show pretty good? Not sure if I want to give it a watch or not. I don't think I've seen any previews or anything for it.

You should definitely give it a shot. Based on 3 episodes it won't dissapoint.
