Series 1 just started on BBC 1 late in the evening (Tuesday?)
Based on the Psycho film idea but a sort of pre sequel sort of idea. Guess it's been on before somewhere.
Interesting to see where it goes as I haven't seen it before.

S1 was on sky in 2013. Ran for a few seasons. I enjoyed it at the time, towards the end of the run it felt like they didn't really know what to do with it.

Does the lady playing Normans Mum remind you of Sophie Raworth the newsreader or is that just me....

Half way through this at the moment, pretty good for the most part.

All sorts of bits require suspension of disbelief but the biggest one is how the weird friendless nerdy kid with odd habits manages to rock up in town, immediately falls in with the hot girls in school in a non ironic way, then apparently manages to shag his way through anything with a pulse.

I can accept the many murders, the mental illness and all the crime being overlooked but that bit seemed a stretch.

Last two episodes of season 05 tomorrow for us. It is almost a comedy now.

I did not really know what I was expecting but I didn’t expect laugh out loud moments.
