Bates Motel is a TV series inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s famous movie “Psycho”.

The series tells how much Norma Bates, the Mother, influences her son, Norman.
They move to a new town hiding a secret from the
past and buy a Motel. Norman helps his mother to
run the Motel.
The situation gets critical because Norman has a
mental disorder – as the series goes he develops
his psycho side, which he can’t control and this makes him do horrible
things.

These are some of the main characters:

Norma Bates Norman Bates Dylan Bates Emma Decody

The Mother Younger Son Older Son Family Friend and Motel Receptionist
