Bates Motel season 3 review
Season 3 of Bates Motel furthers the story of how Norman Bates becomes the Psycho we all know from the movies. This one gets closer to than than the two other previous seasons
The only problem I did have with this season was mostly the villains. There was one clear villain who seemed to have a bigger connection but it turns out its not as big as it may have seemed in the beginning. There is also the neighbor to Dylan's new farm Chip, who may or may not be a villain, it wasn't completely clear and it didn't really follow through much with that. I'm expecting him to return next season in some way.
It seems from this show, that is someone doesn't die, they will return later on only to die then. They haven't done it much, but its starting to feel that way and I hope they try to turn away from that. Just so it can feel different and unpredictable.
I did like how Norman is getting closer to the Psycho we know and how he is actually seeing Norma in more places now. Which leads me to believe how its going to affect their relationship for the next season. But here you see little hints how he thinks she has done things that she actually hasn't.
Overall this was a solid season and It feel like this was only leading up to the climax season, which hopefully will be the next one. I only wish that there was more of a villain but the direction this is heading its pretty obvious who the villain is going to be from now on.

Episode: The Pitt
In this weeks episode of Bates Motel, relationships are defined in this episode. Emma breaks up with Norman, Dylan and Kaleb go on an dangerous road trip together and Norma and Norman get a little bit closer.
Dylan and Kaleb go on a run for chip and it seems to go easy until they actually meet the people who are supposed to give them the guns. They don't trust them very much because they were expecting chip to come. Not to long later they are being ambushed by someone and it leads to a shoot out. They escape but there is kinda some mystery about the whole situation that I think will be followed up.
Emma also breaks up with Norman, which was no surprise since it was obvious that it was only to get back at Norma. This does lead to Norman kinda releasing what he has been doing this whole time and confronting Norma about it.
Romero also finds out that Norma has been lying to him this whole time to protect Norma, I don't think he is going to do anything about it due to not really having any evidence. But it will be interesting for what ever happens in the future.
By the ending of the episode Norman definitely looses it and it almost seems like he is going to be like this for the rest of the season. Anything could change due to a character returning that we will see more of next week.
But overall we did actually are seeing sorta the collapse of everyone trusting each other. Especially since now a lot more people know about Normans condition. How this will all play out is going to be interesting to see.
