If you are not caught up on Bates Motel, Season 1 and Season 2 ….spoiler ahead!

Last season, Bates Motel brought us ever closer to the character Anthony Perkins made iconic, the 1960 Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, with the ending of season 2 a direct homage. Freddie Highmore‘s Norman stared right through us. We also got to see the stirrings of the split personality that emerges in the later years.
