Bates Motel is my favorite series. Please renew and complete the prequel!!!!
Renew Bates Motel!!!!!
Incredibly good writing and superlative acting! The photography is also great.
I would further state that, in my opinion, this show is good, superlative, and also great!
LOVE it! Anthony Perkins would proud! Loved the Psycho movies and Bates Motel is awesome! Can’t wait until next season! Love the actors and love the story lines. I have to stream it online on aetv.com 3 days after it airs due to work, but I MUST see it!
I love the show!!!! I can’t wait to see season 4th.
Love Bates. Bring it back . Best acting. Love you all, especially you, Norma.
I don’t see nothing better since Breaking Bad serie. Waiting full for the season 4
I absolutely love Bates Motel! Its something completely different! Norma is my favorite character! Vera is great! I like her and Romero paired together! I also like the pairing of Dylan and Emma. They’re so sweet! I think Normans jourjey towards a complete psychological break is fascinating! And, I don’t know why but, I just love The Bates Home! It’s just entrancing! I hope that A@E renews Bates Motel for as many seasi ns as Cuse and Ehrin+cast are willing to do! They better or else!
This show has the best acting I ever seen in any other tv show. The writing is just amazing it deserve two more seasons let Carlton and Kerry finish the show on their own amazing and intelligent terms.
Please bring back Bates Motel!!!
Please renew bates motel for season 4. I have to know what happens to everyone! !!
I love Bates Motel. The acting is amazing and Norma and her creepy son are excellent in their roles.I have told many people to watch it and everyone just loves it. The best scene in season 3 is Norman in the kitchen wearing Norma’s housecoat. I never laughed so hard in a long time so funny yet creepy at the same time. Please renew this shoe for at least 2 or more seasons.
Omg! Me too! I am 47 so I grew up watching the Psycho movies and that scene had me out of my seat! I literally said “OH SNAP THERE IT IS!” That’s what I was waiting for! Lol! LOVE this show! They have done a great job!
Season 3 did end to fast. OMG now what will I watch on Mondays.
Bates Motel should definetly come back for season 4 . PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
It should definetly be renewed. Scary, emtional, creepy and so entertaining! Nothing else like it on any channel. Filmed with spectacular scenery.
Bates motel is my favourite show. Acting is suberb- should definitely be renewed for a itself season.
Wow! 3 Seasons gone by too fast ! Begging for more more more !
This is the best show I’ve seen/been addicted to in a lot of years. I’m 57 and for a long time don’t care if the TV’S on or off. The action is intense. The storyline is magnetic. Every actor fits the part. What will I watch now????? Don’t cancel. I almost cried when I missed the last episode of S3. Then I remembered I can see it on Netflix. RENEW.
