Developed for television and written by Anthony Cipriano, Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin. Oh, very clever - sets out with the impression that it's a 1940s prequel, then suddenly it's present day, somehow making nonsense of everything. When you know it's five seasons, it makes the heart sink... I suppose though it does suggest the possibility that he may not turn into that Norman Bates.
In an Ozarkish tangent, Norman's brother (Max Thieriot) turns up, gets work on a cannabis farm. He turns out to be rather useful. There's also a sub-plot about oriental sex slaves.
With Vera Farmiga, Freddie Highmore, Olivia Cooke. The police detective (Nestor Carbonell) may have been cast because he looks weirdly like a more sinister version of Anthony Perkins.
With Nicola Peltz, Jere Burns (psycho), Keegan Connor Tracy (teacher).
Music: Chris Bacon. Photography: Thomas Yatsko, John Bartley. Editing: Christopher Nelson, Kevin Krasny, Sarah Boyd. For Universal TV.
I've got a feeling somehow that we're not going to watch the rest of The Great.
