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.
