The series is positioned as a prequel (precursor) for 1960 by Alfred Hitchcock with an eerily magnificent Anthony Perkins after the novel by Robert Bloch filmed Thriller icon. In Psycho we become confronted without their development to be able to understand directly with Norman Bates and his mother. This will be made up here.
It makes Freddie Highmore his cause frightening good and it is believed frequently in the eyes of Anthony Perkins to look whose NormanBates similar shy, absent and with a flash of madness in the eyes of some shower into a real "rain" made.
Vera Farmiga I know from movies like Up in the Air, The Conjuring and of course source code, which has the wide acting range is recognizable, this role is her but almost tailored to the body, because emotional coldness, terrified, maternal rigor and true joy in this steel-blue eyes seem credible.
I was pleased about "Jumper rice cracker" Max Thieriot, with a son from his first marriage, a credible counterpart is introduced to Nesthäkchen Norman. About this then also connect to the criminal swamp of White Pine Bay is produced.
This season still to come some characters added while others gradually "disappear". The first two episodes represent a kind of upheaval because amazing happens a lot, so I had to look at me again in peace, to not miss any elements or relationships.
With the fifth and sixth episode properly tidy coal is then times shoveled into the fire and this ardor then fanned by the season finale every now and then.
One of these coals is Michael Eklund as Zane Murphy, who enriched this Psycho prequel times to a real psychopath, as he has done already frighteningly impressive in The Divide.
And as it turns out the pyromaniac become a protagonist Sheriff Alex Romero (Nestor Carbonell), who obviously like the fire stirs to suffer then even fire damage. In the truest sense of the word.
But more, I will not spoil here ...
This season the forced subtitles are no longer so clumsily as in the first season. Unfortunately, also this time not done much on surround sound except background music, a little bird chirping or Party Smalltalk nothing comes from the Rears.
Somewhat problematic putting on BluRay seem to be, because already more people over disturbed images (flicker noise) have expressed irritation. This was to some extent already in the first season so, but this time I had actually only times change the settings on the TV. Only in the Image Mode Selection "movie" picture disturbance were gone. In dark scenes, it seems to be noise in dark areas, which then compensate the TV electronics tried but I can not really explain it.
Me personally the series has captivated and I will probably not be able to avoid the third season, but it will probably still take up these appear in Germany, from March 2015, will start only once the US channel A & E; o)
