The creepiness of this series is beginning to go into overdrive, but in ways that make perfect sense of the madman to whom we were introduced in 1960’s Psycho. In recent episodes, we’ve seen Norman, since being released from the asylum, threatening his mother’s new husband with an axe, cutting a peephole into his mother’s bedroom to watch the newlyweds as they slept, and climbing into bed with his mother for warmth after the heater in the house conked out. And this is after seeing Norman (Freddie Highmore) trying on, for size, the alter ego persona of his mother Norma (Vera Farmiga). And how long will it be before Norman claims another victim? I’m betting, not long at all.
