I’m a big fan of two AMC horror dramas – Walking Dead and Bates Motel. The first is the continuing saga of how a group of
people who survived the upcoming zombie apocalypse are faring in a world where
all the rules have changed; the second is a prequel of sorts of how psycho
Norman Bates came to be before Alfred Hitchcock made him famous in Psycho.
Immediately after Walking
Dead airs, the after-show, Talking
Dead, comes on the air. It’s a funny, yet serious discussion of the episode
we’ve just seen, hosted by stand-up comedian Chris Hardwick, with a small live
audience and some great guests.
Starting this year, immediately after Bates Motel aired on Monday night, it was followed by a
one-time-only after-show, Bates Motel:
After Hours. It was hosted by Carrie Keagan, with guest appearances
by Vera Farmiga (Norma Bates), Max Thieriot (Dylan Massett), and executive producers Carlton
Cuse and Kerry Ehrin.
It was bad. Real bad. I blame Carrie Keagan. She’s
pretty bad, I can describe her hosting style as opening a can of Campbell’s
Chicken Noodle Soup, adding a can of water, and heating it on the stove. Yep,
that bad. Her voice is extremely irritating (I had to turn the volume ‘way
down). The only redeeming factor was Vera Farmiga.
In their online poll, 55.33% of those voting said they’d
tune in to After Hours if it were
expanded to a weekly show. A whopping 44.67% said “No.” One of those is me.

I agree, it was terrible. Max looked like it was the last place he wanted to be. The host was one of the worst ive seen
Thanks for your comment. I hope they got enough feedback to either revamp the whole thing or forget about it all together.
