The Allure of Online Viewing
The man left before morning. He took his coffee cold and left a cigarette smoldering in the ashtray like a lit question. Norman watched him go until the neon light swallowed his silhouette. After the car’s taillights winked out behind the bend, Norman stood on the motel steps and felt the night press like a palm against his chest. The world felt too big and too small at once.
Norman stepped in on the permission of the gesture. The room smelled of bitter coffee and old perfume. In the dimness, the man unzipped his suitcase like a surgeon opening a chest. There were papers—loose, significant, folded tight—as if they had been plucked mid-fall from a life that had been dismantled.
The writing cleverly subverts expectations. The showrunners, Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin, chose to set the series in the modern day—complete with iPhones and smartphones—rather than the 1950s. This was a risky creative choice that pays off immediately; it makes the old-fashioned dynamic between Norman and Norma feel even more jarring and unsettling.
"Almost there," Norman says, though the GPS has been silent for twenty miles.
