I totally agree with Dave Mason from the UK. Victor was Norman Bates. Every scene Freddie Hightower was in was just like watching him in Bates Motel. Type casting is one thing but this was unacceptable. I was glad when he tried to top himself. I loved the story. I loved the music. If not for Freddie Hightower I would have given it a 10. I was a little shocked to not see more reviewers mentioning the Victor Norman similarity. To be fair I also think Freddie is the weakest thing in Bates Motel. Enough about Freddie. I love UK TV and find it more stimulating than the run of the mill predictable US offerings. This show has much to be appreciated. Just try to let the type casting not turn you off.
