The inciting incident involving the former owner, Keith Summers, is brutal and sets the tone immediately: this is not your mother’s Psycho . It is gritty, violent, and operates on a razor's edge between family drama and horror. Gambito Y De Dama Serie Completa: - Beth's Fame

When NBC announced a prequel series to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho , the collective groan from the internet was audible. The idea of tarnishing one of cinema’s most pristine legacies with a modern cable TV series seemed like a recipe for disaster. Yet, against all odds, the series premiere, "First You Dream, Then You Die," manages to be one of the most surprising and gripping pilots in recent horror-thriller history.
The show wisely eschews the period setting of the 1960 film, dropping a teenage Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) and his mother Norma (Vera Farmiga) into a modern, rainy Oregon town. They have just purchased the infamous Seafarer Motel (soon to be the Bates Motel) in an attempt to start fresh after the mysterious death of Norman’s father.
