Vandana Likhmania

I cannot believe they put Julia Roberts in a fat suit and made John Cossack an actively fatphobic character. Is nothing sacred anymore?

I'll admit I only saw the first five episodes. But did a child write the script for this? When Barry admits he's hungry after having a full meal not very long ago, someone asks him how he's not fat. I suppose the show is meant for kids as well? Can't think of a better explanation for the poor writing. Edit: I watched a few more episodes and it keeps getting worse. How does it have these many seasons?

This could have easily been just half an hour long. It was gory, predictable, boring, with large chunks that were impossibly slow and unnecessary. Some of the characters and subplots did not even justify their presence as part of the whole structure.

Started watching expecting a prequel to the film when it was really a distorted retelling. It felt slow, dragging on for longer than was necessary, perhaps to score more seasons and more views. Most female characters were bland, underdeveloped, and disappointing. The writing was only half-heartedly commited to the main plot. While the crazy of Norma hardly ever showed, she was an over-all somewhat protective but nice mother. My Indian parents are more controlling than Norma Bates. It hardly did justice to it's one goal: what made Norman Bates the way he was in Psycho. An all over lukewarm experience at best.
