Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore):
Watching Norman’s descent into madness has been one hell of a creepy ride. At times, you hoped they’d somehow skew the narrative because you do feel for the kid, even root for him. But no. Last we see Norman, he convinces his mother that Alex is a bad guy, and he’s much better off home than in a psychiatric facility. Then Norman decides he and Mother should both leave this mortal coil. Leaking gas into the house, Norman kills Norma, but survives himself. Rather than accept it, he digs up her body, brings her home and literally wills her back to life — in his head, of course.
