The show follows teenager Norman Bates (the famed Psycho killer) as he moves to a new city, opens the Bates Motel with his mother, covers up a murder and struggles with bizarre sexual fantasies. It’s unnerving, smart and answers the question people have been asking for 50 years, “What’s up with Norman Bates’ mommy issues?”
