It looks interesting. But I have other shows I follow first. Maybe after the first season has finished airing, I'll give it a go. That way I won't have to wait between episodes and can drawn my conclusion about it that much faster.

I watched it, but wasn't impressed. I'll watch the next couple of episodes to see if it gets any better.

I watched it being a fan of the original. I wasn't thrilled with it but i will keep watching to see how it plays out.

I have been watching it. It's not too bad.

I've been DVRing it, but I won't watch it, I think, until I've got all the season's episodes.

My husband and I love Hitchcock movies, so we wanted to see it.

****************SPOILE R ALERT***************

The rape scene was bad enough to trigger me, I can watch "fantasy" BDSM porn scenes with no trouble and no triggering, so that's how graphic this scene was too much for me.

I was disappointed that it was set in modern day. Norman Bates would have been a teen in the late 40s or early 50s. So that part didn't make sense. I HATE when people take good period pieces and place them modern.

I wasn't impressed. It could have been better done. I can't imagine how they will turn a sympathetic figure like the TV Norman into a psychopathic killer. Of course, people seem to have no problem "relating" to some TV psychopaths, so who knows?

I don't know if we'll continue watching it. My husband actually fell asleep about half way through. He thought the rape scene was over the top graphic, as well.

What is the premise? Is it just supposed to be the preceding timeline for the movie Psycho?

We don't have cable so we can't watch it but I'd probably give a whirl if we did.

I wish I can do that too, but there's not enough space in our DVR, we have too many other shows scheduled.

Hi there, P'Gell! Thanks for the heads-up about the graphic rape scene; I usually cover my ears and look away from the screen when those scenes occur.

I'm not really interested in this one, but I've never actually seen Psycho either.
