ReplyDeleteAwesome news.
ReplyDeleteWoo!
ReplyDeleteGreat news !
ReplyDeleteHell yes!
ReplyDeleteYay!!!
ReplyDeleteFigures...here's hoping they do a time jump after season 4 and re-tell the actual story of Psycho. There's only so much of a prequel you can tell until it grows stale
ReplyDeleteI've been on the fence for this show for some time. Should I watch it?
ReplyDeleteYes. Definitely watch it. Amazing and enthralling performance by Vera Farmiga. And Freddie Highmore is not too far behind.
ReplyDeleteYou should try it. The show has some weird tonal issues for the first five episodes or so, but the writing becomes more focused. The characters are all pretty great, and Vera Farmiga in particular earns her Emmy nomination with a wonderfully campy, hysterical performance.
ReplyDeleteI AM SO HAPPY!!! Norma Bates Rules, this is such a great and interesting show, and I just can't.... yes this is awesome, and not as scary is I thought it would be
ReplyDeleteGOOD!! XD
ReplyDeleteYes!!! I love this show :D
