Bates Motel , well it’s slow, monochromatic and the first 15 minutes almost sent me to sleep – BUT WAIT! It does get better. You don’t need to have seen the movie Psycho at all and know who the characters represent, but it might help. To me this show is creepier than the movie though.

I guess I should be sympathetic but these people have chosen to do their freaky stuff on TV! On Monday there was a guy who LOVED his car, both intimately and sexually! Then there was a woman who snorts talcum powder! It’s sad but friggin’ hilarious. Here is a clip of the car lover! My Strange Addiction airs at 10.30pm Mondays on Gem.
