Freddie Highmore thriller Bates Motel recently left Amazon Prime Video but the series has already found a new home with the BBC.
A prequel series to Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller Psycho,the show’s five-season run presented a new spin on the well-known story.
Bates Motel arrives on BBC iPlayer on Sunday 21st February 2021, with episodes also being broadcast weekly on the BBC One from Tuesday 23rd February, with a double bill beginning at 10.45pm.
The series is inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film Psycho and serves as a modern-day prequel to the events we see in the famous film.
The show focuses on a young Norman Bates and his mother, Norma, following the death of Norman’s father and their purchasing of the Seafairer motel, in Oregon.
In the first season the motel’s original violent owner breaks in to the establishment before eventually mother and son murder him and decide to dispose of the body in secret.
Have just finished watching all 5 series was good. The on screen relationship between Norman and Norma was very well acted.
Fortunately, I was messing about the other day, when I found the "deleted" button, which gives you the option to "delete forever". When you "delete forever", it frees up disk space. Since finding it, I regularly delete forever, and conserve my disk space. Its a pain in the ar5se, but doing it regularly means its not so time consuming.
Mare of Easttown was excellent. Unlike several other recent programmes (like Line of Duty and Your Honour) the end was also excellent.
On a side note, just read the latest Peter James "Inspector Grace" book. Superb.
Bosch tomorrow.
I was disappointed with the latest series of Bosch. It was good. Maybe even very good. But the previous series were truly great.
I started watching The Good Wife again last night. Well worth watching. I forgot that Bosch appears in the first season. I also forgot that another favourite of mine, Jeffrey Dean Morgan appears in later seasons.
The Good Wife is an American legal and political drama television series that aired on CBS from September 22, 2009, to May 8, 2016.[1] It focuses on Alicia Florrick, the wife of the Cook County State's Attorney, who returns to her career in law after the events of a public sex and political corruption scandal involving her husband. The series was created by Robert and Michelle King and stars Julianna Margulies, Josh Charles, Christine Baranski, Matt Czuchry, Archie Panjabi, Zach Grenier, Matthew Goode, Cush Jumbo, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Alan ****, and features Chris Noth in a recurring role. The executive producers included the Kings, Ridley and Tony Scott, Charles McDougall, and David W. Zucker.[2][3] The Good Wife is a serialized show featuring several story arcs that play out over multiple episodes, as well as stand-alone storylines that are concluded by the end of each episode. The serial plots—a rarity on CBS, a network where most of the programming at that time was procedural—were especially showcased in its highly praised fifth season.[4]
The Good Wife won numerous awards, including five Emmys and the 2014 Television Critics Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in Drama. The performances of the show's cast have been particularly recognized, with Julianna Margulies, Archie Panjabi, and Josh Charles each receiving widespread acclaim.[5] The show was also lauded for its insight on social media and the internet in society, politics, and law. It is considered by several critics to be network television's "last great drama",[6][7][8] producing full 22-episode seasons while other similarly acclaimed dramas often produce only 6 to 13 episodes per season. CBS announced on February 7, 2016, that the show was ending with its seventh season. The final episode aired on May 8, 2016.[9][10] A spinoff titled The Good Fight, centered around Baranski's character Diane Lockhart and Cush Jumbo's Lucca Quinn, also starring Rose Leslie and Delroy Lindo, premiered in February 2017.
Thats not to mention Michael J Fox, Gary Cole, etc etc.
