A contemporary prequel to Psycho, giving a portrayal of how Norman Bates' psyche unravels through his teenage years, and how deeply intricate his relationship with his mother, Norma, truly is.
Trimmer-guy "Gunner", played by Keenan Tracey, is the real-life son of Field Guard "Remo", played by Ian Tracey.
Norman Bates:
Mother, are you sure we shouldn't call for help?
Norma Louise Bates:
No one's ever going to help us, Norman. No one's ever helped us.
The audio for Norma's car is always that of a diesel engine but the car, a Mercedes 280 SE 4.5, is a gasoline powered V8.
Names in the main credits have one letter (in each part of the name) in blue neon, like the Bates Motel sign. The letter is usually at or near the middle of the name.
