PSYCHO

So I just started watching this rather new series, Bates Motel, and let me just say that it's really quite gripping! It's about Norman Bates, the fictional character from Alfred Hitchock's Psycho, and his life before he murdered a bunch of people.
Anyway, I wiki-ed "Norman Bates" and apparently his character is loosely based on the very real Ed Gein. And let me tell you, that guy is bonkers. He basically dug up a couple of corpses and made masks out of their faces. I know right, WHAT THE HECK?! It's absolutely disgusting.

Back to this new series I'm watching, Norman Bates is played by the all-grown-up Freddie Highmore (yes, he is Charlie from the Chocolate Factory circa 2005), and boy, was he a good choice for the show!
Anyway, I'm not a film critic and it might be too early to say this, considering I'm only 3 episodes into the show, but I really recommend watching it!
