A newly-aired A&E drama,
Bates Motel, prequels the renowned classic horror film,
Psycho. Only about five episodes have aired, but the new show exemplifies numerous anti-heroes. Obviously,the most predominate character, Norman Bates, could be observed as the classic anti-hero simply because we all know of his murderous future. However, I believe arguments could be made supporting his mother or the policeman has the dominate anti-hero.
SPOILER ALERT: As of now, the series depicts the policeman, a.k.a. Norman's mother's new boyfriend, as the ultimate anti-hero--protective, loyal policeman on duty and aggressive sex trafficking customer on the down time. This detail within the series provides an interesting plot twist, as well as a twist on the flawed hero stereotype.
