Bates Motel, Ep. 1.03: “What’s Wrong with Norman” is a chilling, often baroque journey into insanity
In Bates Motel, the audience is led on a journey into the psychological abyss. Littered with Freudian symbolism, the series is both suffocating and schizophrenic – and it’s central character is tragically imprisoned by both his past and his mind. Bates Motel is a prolonged intrusion on the personal space of the Norman and the viewer.
