I don't watch the show (though I do know the movie quite well), but I don't think it's necessarily right that she would have to be evil exactly, just that Norman somehow would have to perceive her that way. If the show is taking the position that Norman has serious issues (schizophrenia, for example?), then it's possible that he might be perceiving and responding to her treatment of him in a way that differs from her actual actions and intentions - or that he has delusions of her that he can't separate from the reality. Especially since, as others have said, you can be a flawed/oppressive parent without being an evil one.

Like I said, I haven't seen the show, but I could see how a not-completely awful mother could be done. Potentially.
