TV Report Card | 'Bates Motel' Season 1 Review
Overview: “Bates Motel” tells the origin story of one of
film’s most memorable villains, Norman Bates and just as effectively, his
families’.
Storyline Direction: This was hands down the best written
show of the 2012-2013 season. It was taught and thrilling. There were no
missteps. I repeat none! It was a masterpiece. The slow build ratcheted up each
week and blew our minds with one twist after another. All of the characters were
written with depth and fleshed out with resonance.
