What BollyAI Thinks

Season 3 earned 95% on Rotten Tomatoes as Bates Motel's creative peak. The season placed Norman's psychological deterioration at the centre of the drama rather than as subtext. Yahoo TV wrote Farmiga 'brings a daringly reckless, Lucille Ball-like slapstick physicality to the role.' The New York Times called it 'a deftly acted story of small-town dysfunction, creepy yet far more wide ranging.' The show's refusal to treat Norman as a simple horror monster, instead depicting his condition with clinical empathy, separated it from typical genre fare. Season 3 earned the Highmore-Farmiga double act the Emmy attention it deserved.
