I don't know dude... Norco starts off as what I'd say is a really fascinating blend of southern gothic and science fiction storytelling, and it initially does this great. I was deeply intrigued by what was first shown and the tone and everything felt just right. It felt like a story so close to home, but also something completely alien at the same time.

Unfortunately, the latter half just lost me entirely. It spirals into a narrative that I feel is seeking to be cryptic and weird more so than it is trying to be compelling. In that pursuit, the story of Norco ultimately falls flat for me with a weak climax, and an ending that left me feeling nothing except relief that it was over. I'm sure some people who loved this will tell me what it all meant and how I just didn't get it.
