this show is so underrated. I love it.

Great season so far.

I agree. They're focusing more on Norman & Norma this season, which is really how it should have been all along. Both lead actors are very good but Highmore's really turned it up a notch for this run. One very minor complaint, he still sounds like a Brit trying to do an American accent. Which, of course, he is.
Though I don't know if this new story thread with Chick is going to be padding to the main plot line yet.

Best season yet wrapped last night. I'm looking forward to a dark ride coming up in its last batch next year.

I get to watch the season finale tonight maybe! Watched last weeks episode last night and good lord....

Rihanna has been cast as Marion so I guess the series will pretty much go as far as the beginning of the movie.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Have never watched this.
This comment is going to make me sound like a shallow ass, but here goes:
What the hell happened to Vera Farmiga? I found her to be so beautiful in The Departed. But these days...less so.

She's still beautiful.


Any of you still watching this show? Final season.

Welp. Glad this one is ending after this season. its just not as interesting now that Norma has died. The tension of Norman going to complete psycho was what made the show really a joy to watch. It feels like its dragging and moving slow now, much like The Walking Dead.

I'm a couple episodes behind but I get your drift. Last season was so good but this one is meandering. The Norman character still gives Highmore chances to shine but it doesn't seem as interesting now.

This turned out really well. Very underrated show. Freddie Highmore was incredible and i hope he continues with his acting career. The finale was really great and i was curious to see if they'd end the character or leave it open with the assumption he continues killing into his adult years.

I've been a couple episodes behind all season but I know how it ends. Highmore's done great work the whole series but has progressively stepped up each season. I was expecting the last run of episodes to be an updated telling of the movie but they obviously went in a different direction.
Good series; it meandered a bit a long the way but when it was good it was pretty fantastic.

The Series Finale was really good. I'm happy with how they wrapped everything up. Man, I'm going to miss this show. It had a such a great cast and was very well written and directed.

The finale was still on my DVR so I rewatched it last night and then the after show wrap up. The last scene stood out even more as being exceptionally well done. Didn't occur to me that it was Mother's Day until after the fact.
Kind of interesting how I thought the Dylan character was introduced as a character to give exposition to the audience of Norma & Norman's relationship. Which he was but also played a major role in the end.
