Vera Farmiga to play Mother in A&E's 'Bates Motel'

[Critix]

I thought that kitchen scene was awful.

Hollywood Reporter likes it, Variety does not. Both say it has a Twin Peaks feeling more than all out horror.

I thought Farminga would get more Oscar-friendly roles after her nom?

At a respectable 72 on Metacritic through 8 reviews. My love for Psycho and Farmiga will allow me to at least give this a chance.

I thought it was funny when Norma jumped up on that fence and starts shaking it! Farmiga gets some real ott stuff to play. Well everyone does. The show is crazy!

I have to give credit to Max Thieriot here as someone who's found him annoying in everything else. That rebellious older brother thing has been done to death, but he's starting to add a surprising depth to him. That scene between him and Highmore near the end was surprisingly touching and I loved him telling off Farmiga at the end.

This was AWFUL.

Even Vera Farmiga was bad. And I love her.

I just caught up on this show. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. I think its great.

This is the most frustrating show on television. There's so much potential with the direction they've taken, but they keep doing it wrong.

I've only watched til episode 2.

This is sooo merely adequate and the murder subplot is ridiculously generic. The main performances are good though.

I'll watch a couple more episodes until I decide to stay loyal or not.
