For those of you that think the subject matter of 'Bates Motel' is way too taboo or terrifying for you to enjoy without doing irreparable harm to your psyche, I am here to tell you that (although you may be correct) you're really missing out on an entertaining show. My hope is that if you click here, you will be convinced to watch tonight at 9pm.

If you're worried that 2 seasons have gone by and you'll never be able to catch up, I completely missed Season 1 and it didn't affect my enjoyment of Season 2 at all.

Vera Farmiga's portrayal of 'Norma Bates' is the number one reason I'm begging you to watch this show. There is no limit to her musical talents both in quantity and quality and her acting ability is of the highest caliber.

Beautiful and elegant while singing, dancing and playing piano, yet absolutely terrifying when in NSFW full on rage. The best part of this show is, you usually get both versions of Norma Bates within a 10 minute span. There is a dark comedic nature to this show that is highly addictive.

The rest of the cast does an excellent job keeping up with her and I usually spend the entire show on the edge of my seat. I can't believe it's an hour long as every episode flies at a breakneck pace... or would cutthroat pace be a better way to put it?

Please watch the show once. You can watch it using any of the new fangled commercial free technologically advanced methods available. Just watch it once. I promise you won't be afraid to shower and/or rocking in your attic and/or rocking a sundress and/or clutching a large kitchen knife.
