Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe wifi password for the Bates Motel is MOTHER.
- GoofsThe outside of the Bates house is extremely small. The front porch is no more than 10 feet wide, and the whole house less than 25 feet wide, and perhaps 30 feet deep. (This is about the size of 4 of their hotel rooms.) And yet many of the rooms inside the house are much larger than this. The master bedroom alone is at least 30'x30', and it is just one room on the upper hallway, that includes a vaulted stairway.

- Crazy creditsNames in the main credits have one letter (in each part of the name) in blue neon, like the Bates Motel sign. The letter is usually at or near the middle of the name.
Featured review
Vera Farmiga. That about says it all.
Bates Motel is a binge worthy, down and dirty, yet artfully crafted masterpiece. Add the talents of Vera Farmiga, Freddie Highmore and Nestor Carbonell and you have the holy grail.
The story line is well thought out- the acting is superb, the texture dark and frightening.
Vera Farmiga is probably the most under rated actor in the business. She is similar to a shape shifter, able to morph into something unique to the part she is playing. I guess that is the definition of " great actor "
She reminds me of that line from a song by Billy Joel, " She has a way about her "
That way is pleasing, both to the eye, and to the soul.
And as for Freddie Highmore, as I watched him develop the character, I began to believe that he really was insane. Great acting.
Nestor Carbonell as Sheriff Romero. Everything you believe a Sheriff should be-a rough, tough, take no prisoners type of guy.
Things he did weren't always on the up and up, or even legal- but you found yourself still rooting for the guy.
Catch this show. You will find yourself thoroughly satisfied.
