Everyone calling him stupid for turning his back don't get it. I don't think he really cared about living anymore.

Honestly probably the most underrated show ever. Don't think it really found an audience here in the UK but I watched the show from day 1 and absolutely loved it

Always turn your back on the guy that you believe killed his own mom. 😒

The death is unrealistic for Romero sure but this was his weakest point because he’s looking at the woman he loved. Of course he was gonna pay more attention to her.

Romero was my favorite character. He was a badass with questionable, but still good morals. Sucks he got killed in such a lame way.

Why did Alex a trained police officer turn his back on a psychopath after beating his ass. Come on man!!! I like Alex hate he went out like that.

Vera farmiga is still forever my favorite

Some here are saying that his death wasn't realistic, but playing back this scene I think I can understand it better. Romero wasn't thinking clearly to begin with. He was moved beyond the brink by Norma's death, and then to see her there as Norman talks about their relationship... That alone is heavy. And then, seeing her looking back up, all the while Romero knowing how sacrificial a love Norma had for her son... That really complicates things, and it's really hard to cut through that and simplify what you need to do in such a tragic situation.

at least Alex and Norma are together now

Definition of badass- Romero. He makes Norman look so silly in the car while the scene is trying to make Norman appear intimidating and creepy as “Mother”. Lol Romero just hands it straight.

It wasn’t so surprising that Romero died the way he did here; he was shattered beyond repair by Norma’s death and basically had a murder-suicide wish (I firmly believe he would have killed himself after murdering Norman). He beat the shit out of Norman but seeing Norma’s corpse and facing the tragic reality overwhelmed him with total grief, as a result his guard was down. But I don’t think he was all to upset at not getting to kill Norman in the end because at that point he was just filled with anguish over the fact that Norman murdered his mother who loved him beyond belief and the woman who Romero loved beyond belief. Death was his release from all that pain, much like Norman’s was. But of course, this is ultimately Norman’s story and so naturally he needed to be given an emotionally cathartic death and being killed by Romero would’ve been a disservice to that. Unfortunately, Romero died alone but at least some of his last words were a pledge of his love for her. I’d like to think that he was reunited with Norma in an afterlife. Yes, I know people would argue that Norma “chose” Norman and is spending eternity with him but the fact is she loved both of them, and why should she be bound by the earthly pain of having to “choose” like she did when she was alive? If we’re all souls and infinite consciousness then there’s no reason why she shouldn’t be reunited with both of them free from mortal jealousy and possessiveness. Only the happiness and peace of being entwined with the son and husband she loved.

This tv series is a masterpiece, the main characters Vera and Freddy performances were just absolutely brilliant, not to forget other characters too...Max Thieriot, Alex Romero

I was so angry Alex didn't shoot Norman's brains out here. But let's face it, Alex loved Norma with all of his heart and he knew how much Norman meant to her. I don't think Alex would ever do that to Norma, her being alive or not.

This was such a good little series. Well written and the acting was flawless. The dude that plays Norman has got some great acting chops. Every character was well written and all had really good story arcs as the series evolved over the few seasons that it aired. It even had a great ending as well. It was a joy to watch.

Nestor and Freddie had such a great friendship outside of filming that seeing them mad and acting this way towards each other is weird to see. I know that they are simply playing their characters, but they are both such great actors that it almost comes off as really the two of them upset with one another

ALEX WAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER WHY

The greatest final series season of all time

FML I'm watching spoilers

I loved every time he would call somebody a piece of shit 😂😂😂

When Romero was shot and killed in this tragic and heartbreaking scene, I know without a doubt he instantly transitioned to the afterlife and reunited with his true love of his life - Norma Louise Bates. Just as Norman did in the series finale. In the afterlife, where there's no hatred, resentment, or envy, I know Romero, Norma, and Norman were all able to be together, happily, for eternity ❤️

she killed herself to be honest always lying to herself not helping him get better

Kinda sad that Romero went out like that but also happy he was not the one to kill Norman. The ending was perfect.

Norma was my favorite character😭❤️ I actually cried at this scene.. I cried so bad

Alex deserved an Emmy award for this scene as well as Freddy allso deserved an Emmy for this scene

I feel like the real Alex died when Norma died. Alex was a complex but good person who had to make tough choices in the job and do what he thought was best to make the town function. He was a great three dimensional character who closed himself off to emotion and happiness until he fell in love with Norma. She made him feel alive, she brought out the best in him and her death brought out the worst in him. He became a wounded animal that couldn’t be bandaged up anymore because he had nothing to live for but bloodthirsty revenge. I knew he would die horribly and I feel so bad for him. Alex and Norma deserved to be happy together and they would have been if Norman weren’t so obsessed and selfish 😭

The acting is so good

I just realized, Alex looked like Adam Levine

Man, Romero loved Norma so so much. I’m just glad they’re together now.

I love Romero He didn’t deserve to die But how the show ended was a good closing Sometimes no happy endings are good

This show is incredible along with the cast. It pay homage to its source material while still remaining original. Kinda hate it ended at season five but really glad also that they was smart enough to end it on a high note .

I love alex romeros character beacause hes such a nice hearted person but when theres something bad he gets so angry and cold hearted

-Sam Bates was hit to the head by a blender : died. - Keith Summer was hit to the head by a door handle : passed out. - Alex Romero was hit to the head by a huge frickin rock: still tried to grab the gun to shoot Norman.

What is it with everyone being obsessed with Norma to the point of losing their sanity? First, it was Norman. Than Norma's brother. Then that weird hunter dude. And then the sheriff. I would've popped a cap at Norman's knees and then gone back to my 5 minutes of brooding grief.

0:46 damn Romero slapped the living shit out of him

Romero was actually a good person, he geniunely loved Norma and cared for her well-being

I love how there’s no hesitation to shoot

I’m just wondering how he got away with so many murders

I love bates motel what a hell of a ride such great talent from all of them please do another one normans spirit lives on or whatever

I was happy this happened so early in the finale. I appreciate what they tried to do with Romero and Norma, but he had to go. This story is about Norman and his mother, so everyone else had to go. I'm shocked Dylan and Emma survived; I assumed Norman would be the last one standing.

I know some say they didn’t like how Alex died. They changed his ending a few times. Kerry Ehrin stated originally Romero’s end game was to have Norma reburied properly and then shoot himself on top of her grave. Nestor also stated originally he was going kill Norman and then it got change to he takes the fall for Dylan killing Norman because he knew he had nothing to live for. That for the longest time that was what was supposed to happen and then it got changed.

Oh what the love. When he cried and tried to take the body out, I cried as well.

Just finished the show yesterday and it broke me in tears 😢 💔 😭

I was MAD AS HELL that they wrote into the script that Alex would keep his back turned to Norman while wearing his gun on the backside of his belt. I was just waiting for Norman to come up behind him, and he DID. DAMMIT.

This show was awesome 👍! I wish some network would pick it up in reruns so we can watch it all over again.

Seems Romero wanted to die. At least he made it to the last episode, but the last scenes focusing on Norman felt right.

Alex could’ve easily killed Norman he was just distracted

he really loved norma so much.. they deserved so much better

I hated Norman so much in this scene until 6:09, then it once again dawned on me that Norman was nearly as much as a victim as the people he killed. He should have been somewhere where people could help him. He wasn’t the one killing people, it was his mother personality, which, when you have DID, is exactly like 2 different people. Side note: Freddie is an amazing actor ❤️❤️❤️

This was disappointing. Romero would never have went out like that. No way Norman could have pulled that off. Bad job by the weiters, imo. But, I was partial to Romero. He was a real Bad ass

was shocked as hell when i found out the guy who plays NOrman here is actually a British Actor..accent and all....dayum now that's acting BY GEORGE!!

Its definitely hard to accept that the person you cared and loved from the moment theyre born are not well and sick in their head. I understood why Norma is still in denial all those years. You can not blame a mother who only wishes their child nothing but love and a good life. Not to mention, Norma is on her own ever since so she kinda have these walls around her.. not letting people know she needs help. Sad story bruh

Norma wouldn't have wanted Romero to kill norman anyway it was a mercy killing by dylan in the end... X x

I’m sorry, but I hated Norman here! 😡😡😡

I loved Alex more than anything. 😭

I like to think that little smile on Romero's face as he passed was his greeting to Norma in the hereafter.

Alex Romero was my Fav character

To think freddie Highmore would act in Charlie and the chocolate factory as a kid and then grow up to act as a psycho teenager who murdered his mother, father. Etc.

I was introducing Bates Motel to my friend and in the end, she asked: "That's cool, but... Is somebody alive in that town?"

I absolutely loved Romero's character, but don't mess with Norman! I mean, I know Alex had his back to him, he was an easy target.

This is where one of Vera Farmiga's screams would be highly appropriate😂😂

I can’t even look at Norma that long Too scary I’m scared of dead body

Those gunshot sounds, A+

2:59 That was such a Shaun Murphy look... You know... without all the blood and psycho eyes.

O ator que interpretou o "Norman" é com certeza um ator espetacular!

Oh no! I have never expected Romero to die this way 😥

😖😢😭 this was so messed up I'm glad Dylan was ok but you know he needed some counseling that's too messed up and sad 😖😵

i felt bad for Norman in this final season... What a series it was..Awesome

So many brilliant performances on this show... Vera was stunning and Freddie I really think he is a true psycho lol.

Norma was a good mom for the most part like giving him food and shelter then again she wasn't she was to smothering & controlling making Norman stay locked Inside telling him not to go anywhere while she went out sleeping with guys and telling him he can't have sex with girls she turned him into a woman he thought he was Norma in reality he was Norman because she was controlling him so much it made him have a split personality witch he thought he was his own mother he thought Norma was doing the killings and trying to put it on him it's like they were so drawn together the only way to split them apart is for both of them to die together!

Nooooooooo he was hot

Best scene cut on i player,takes mummy back to hotel in back of car,opens door dear mum falls out, so funny.

Shooting someone because they psychologically broke and dug their mother up because their psyche told them she was alive seems a bit extreme...

Romero didn't handle this very well at all , Norman is obviously completely unhinged at this point this was never going to end well for either of them. Also love the music at the end there!

ROMERO DESERVES JUSTICE!

Romero ughh *heart eyes*

I hated the way romero died it was so stupid

My point of view: You love a woman. You do everything for her, even when it’s against the law. You help her take care of her insane son by putting him in a home where he clearly needs to be. He treats you like dirt and comes between you. She lets him come home and breaks up with you. He kills her. You still save his life. Then he kills you. It felt so unearned to me as a viewer to have Norman kill Romero.

Am I the only one who thinks Alex Romero should get its own spin-off? I know he is dead but in an alterative universe where he and norma put Norman in Pineview foever but Romero still has enemies in town and drug buss.. Imagine if Alex Romero and Walter White together omg...

Too many souls tortured badly and got no chance what so ever to show and shine:(in this world ! it’s totally better then the movie the psycho and to be honest you can see through the The characters! Very good work!

Romero 😭❤

The thing I first found scary in the first two seasons was the sexual deviousness behind every scene and story. Not surprised it all ended up with some weird mother and son sexual jealousy.

Alex was my fav character a bawled my eyes out. I hate Norman wtf.

This scene's so goood I luv it

Everyone here are just Bates Motel fans none are Psycho fans I’ve been wanting this murderer Norman since season 1 hoping maybe season 2 he’ll become the Norman I know and love!

Always like mother and son Norma What the need of marriage at this point by Raising his own son so closely that he can’t believe to be away from her he can’t survive without her when she married Romero he thought he was betrayed and replaced by his new dad Norman can’t be blamed for all this Norma could have lived with his son by treating him in good hospital and taking care of him instead of give a chance to third person between them if Romero doesn’t have come between them this could have never happen everybody will be happy 😃 this is all Norma s fault but still can’t blame her for all this but it can be avoided if she had acted wisely by not marrying Alex Very Tragic story 😔 iwill be happpy if the creator produces another series on bates motel like Rebirth of Mother and son Norma and Norman With happy ending Please like if you people agree with me Thank you

At least he had the pleasure of giving Norman a good kicking, must have felt good.

Romero was also a questionable character. I thought. Norman has an illness and has murdered people among his blackouts, especially his beloved mother Romero has also killed people time and time again. I found it a little strange from Romeo that he knows Norman is sick and instead of trying to help him somehow he was out for revenge. I mean, of course, he loved Norma and wanted to do the math, but I always asked Romero whether he was better than Norman himself? Because he said right before his death for what Norman did he should go to prison and what about him?

I seriously could not stand Romero, he was a hypocrite to the max. If anything he was much 'worse' than what he thought of Norman as. Norman had a seriously fucked up childhood and painful experiences which were the source of his amnesia episodes/breaks. Romero? Romero does everything he does in cold blooded conscience. Regardless of how people might want to spin it, he is just as much a killer as any murderer is. His rage is very similar in that he believes he's doing something 'right'. It's easy for him to convince himself that it's okay since he has a badge, but that would just show just how much more screwy it is. It also demonstrates that power is a dangerous and destructive thing in the right (or wrong?) hands.

*its so sad!*

3:54 the amount of blood here scares me

Pretty bad writing here. - Norman develops adamantium skull. - Romero forgets all his training.

If I ever wanna cry this video

Damn that punch was quick 😂

Cette scène et si triste.

Was so glad to see Romero ground and pound Norman.

Norman was my favourite, idk why

Norma was my very very favorite people on here. If you see all the episodes

Norma's dead makeup is the best. Omg I'm scared

4.58 me when someone doesnt watch bates motel or the good doctor

Am I the only one who was rooting for Norman the whole time?
