Show's not made to last....


Fan of the series.

Burned through seasons 1-3 on netflix. Catching up on S4 now.

Kinda disappointing to see Norman loose it.

I much prefer the back and forth and a little anchor of normalcy.

Right now he's fast approaching Pyscho and I'm going to miss the Norma, Dylan, Norman relationship.

Full on "Pyscho" doesn't really appeal to me as much as seasons 1-3.



Agree?

Well, they've done enough. A new spin on Psycho should be fun and interesting, if well written. Also, a great way to wrap the series up (assuming it ends after five yrs.).

It was planned as a 5 season show from the start so they are ending it next year regardless of the ratings. They're currently filming the episode that Freddie is directing.

Well frankly I was starting to get a bit annoyed with Norman's mental pendulum, and Norma's continuing to doubt that he has any problems. I believe four seasons is a good enough length to show Norman's mental decline. Besides, he gets away with too many murders anyway, any more and it wouldn't seem feasible or logic that he is still about and loose.

I will miss the Norman/Norma/Dylan relationship though. Can't wait to see how they'll wrap up Dylan, Emma and Alex's stories (I think it's safe to say Alex will die shortly into the fifth season, but I hope Dylan and Emma survives.)
