Bates Motel: The Complete Series [DVD]

Great

Box and discs all in good condition not scratched and played well. Good quality.

I love this series and I loved the way it was packaged each season has its own case and a box to hold all of them. Perfect!

For those of you that loved the original 1960 movie "Psycho", this TV series delves into the early years of Norman Bates, how he and his mom purchased and fixed up the floundering motel, the troubles they faced early on, and how Norman himself started psychologically unraveling as a child into adulthood. This is a great series if you are a fan of fine horror plots! Each season gets more and more intense. We loved the series so much and are excited to own this complete series on DVD. Great casting, memorable, chilling plots as Norman descends into madness.

This series was created out of love for the original movie. It's 5 seasons equal 50 episodes and every episode continues from the previous one. If you binge watch it, it's like watching a very long movie but it always keeps you interested. It does seem as though the writers knew what they were doing right from the first episode. It seems as though the entire series was mapped out from the beginning to be a 5 season show with 50 episodes. The plot just continues in perfect continuity and ends on a very tragic but excellent note. Freddy Highmore and Vera Farmiga were absolutely perfect for each other as Norman and his mother. This series is suspenseful and keeps you on the edge of your seat at times. I like a lot of TV shows out there but this one is very special to me because it was intelligent and beautifully written. Every character in the series was important and kept the show going smoothly as a story. I don't remember ever having even one recurring character who was bad for the show. I couldn't stop watching it when I came home from work every day. I just kept wanting to watch each episode until it just got too late for me to stay up anymore. Great show, great cast, great storyline and one of my favorites of all time.

They completely change the lore entirely compared to the first 4 movies but it’s whatever. Liked this new concept of Norman Bates & the Bates family. Norman’s brother is the only character to really root for cause everybody else is questionable as heck. This is a must have for horror fans.

Very clever reimagining of the Psycho story that is, mostly, very well done. Good writing. Very good acting. Well directed. 50 episodes evenly distributed across 5 seasons. It's a modern noir story, not horror, and as noir it is excellent. Suspenseful. Funny. Insane. I rate it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I think it might have been better, tighter, if there at been fewer episodes. But the acting is really good across the entire cast. Over-the-top in places, but it works. Freddie Highmore is particularly excellent. Very talented actor (and director).

Had seen this series once and it’s even better this time!!!
