Do Any Of You Watch Bates Motel?
 
As someone who was a psych major as an undergraduate, I am very impressed with the show's nuanced portrayal of a narcissistic mother and her schizoid, psychopathic son. I don't think I've been this involved with a TV series since I stopped watching network TV back in '09. It doesn't live up to the Hitchcock original, but it really does well with character development.

Watching it online via A&E.com is nice because you can block commercials with AdBlock Pro :tgrin:

Ive seen about half of the first season, I couldn't really get into it. Planning on giving it another shot at some point though.

It gets much better, but the drug trafficking storyline is a distraction at best--even in season 2. The town they live seems modeled a bit too closely after Twin Peaks.
