Hey there! I'm young and I didn't like it either. I thought the whole time period thing was really odd and didn't work very well. It was supposed to be modern but if you had taken away the cell phone, mp3 player and modern car you wouldn't be able to tell it was supposed to be modern. I get that they were trying to add nostalgic influences but I didn't really feel like it was working. I won't be watching this series.
I feel like American Horror Story is a really good example of how horror can be done well for a TV series. The characters are usually well developed and that show screams style. It does a very good job of mixing old and new, something which Bates Motel isn't grasping very well.
