SEASON FINALE: This uneven series has done a few things right while spinning its odd sort-of prequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 horror masterpiece. One, it’s explained, and played well with, some of the formative influences of young Norman, including his voyeurism, his fascination with taxidermy, and his Oedipal issues. And two, it’s given Vera Farmiga – as Norma, Norman’s mother – a juicy role with which she’s managed to hit one home run after another.
