The best season yet! In this intense drama horror show the cast really have pushed themselves to bring out a convincing and genuine performance that steals the scene. This show has its surprises twist and turns and it is a wicked ride this show is one of the best shows on tv to ever hit the small screen. 

Rated 14A : disturbing images,  violence and sexual content 

Freddie Highmore : Freddie really pushes his performance to places we haven't seen before and it is outstanding. I've said countless times Highmore's performance in the show is extraordinary and he's always amazing us with his great acting as Norman Bates but in this season he's given the best performance of the series! Yea it's that good I didn't think he was capable of bringing his performance to another area of excellence but he has and my god it's so captivating to watch. In the first season he had light side out most and shined a bit of dark then in the second season he started to show more of his grey area but in this one he taps into his dark side he is chilling. When he's onscreen you can't take your eyes off him your just drawn to watching him all the time what Freddie brings to the character in this season is that he is able to make us like him even though he's doing bad acts and that's all from his ability to deliver great emotional range along with understanding his character and he dose it greatly. At times he will be heartbroken and you just want to hug him the next he has that darkness in his eyes that scares you and the way he's able to transition through that while making it feel genuine and real is fantastic. When he speaks in a scene nothing feels dull your one hundred percent invested into his performance and you believe what he says he means it it doesn't feel like he's reading it he is that character he fully commits himself to the character which results in him delivering a electric performance that is truly chilling and captivating. As well The chemistry that Freddie has with Vera onscreen is electric their chemistry is so he genuine you buy into them as mother and son their brilliant onscreen together. Overall Freddie delivers yet again a scene stealing performance as Norman Bates. 

Vera Farmiga : Vera yet again delivers a intense performance as Norma Bates! In past seasons she's been mean to Norman and always yelling in this one he tones it down and you really feel a sense of empathy for her because all she wants is her kid to be safe and loved but he feels afraid of him and Vera plays that so well onscreen. The look in her eyes when she's in a scene with Freddie is fear and vulnerability and it feels so natural and real. But then she'll go from being scared and calm to extreme measures and that switch of emotions she can make at the snap of a finger is amazing. When Vera speaks in a scene her emotion the tone in her voice she fully becomes the character and wraps you up in every scene. She's truly fantastic in this season overall another great performance by Vera.

Anthony Cipriano : Anthony has outdone himself! He's created a intriguing atmosphere of Bates Motel and this season he dips into the dark depths of it and he isn't afraid to show it. He's done a beautiful transformation with the series showing the first as very bright and colourful and then with season two and three brings it more grey which is great he's staying true to the Psycho fans and Normans Transformation into madness. Along with getting scene stealing performances from his cast as well as giving the audience twist and turns biting your nails wanting to know what is going to happen next. He just keeps building the stakes showing the next one more dangerous then the last one he knows how to build the suspense to get your pulse pounding. He's the best person to helm this outstanding series overall great direction once again.

The Lighting : loving the tones in this season. Like I said throughout the review its more greyish and I love how they bring that aspect in the show. It feels very eerie and intense not knowing what's around the corner that keeps you in the moment of the show. It's perfect tones captures the show and emotion perfectly within every frame great job guys.

The Cinematography : The camerawork used in this show is outstanding and they knock it out of the ballpark again with the great angles. Their ability to look at things from another angle and show something to the naked eye that truly amazes you is what the bring to the table in this season. It just captivates you great job guys.

The Score : The music is so beautiful in the show its ability to capture the sheer emotion and feel of the scene is so important for the composer to express and they do just that making it look effortless. It's beautiful to the ears but also paints the tone of the scene perfectly their is no flaw in this score overall amazing score.
