Aug 9, 2017My rating is based only on the first two enjoyably dark and twisty episodes.
It does however seem similar in premise and tone to the UK series 'Inside No.9', and the remaining episodes will have to go some way to match the consistently inventive plots that No.9 continues to come up with.
Fingers crossed though. -
Jan 22, 2019With each episode being a different story that takes place in a motel room, it shouldn't be a surprise that Room 104 is wildly inconsistent. There are some great episodes in the first season, and there are some pretty terrible episodes as well. I'm not even really sure who this show is for, since it's so all over the place. It's quite an experience, though.

An often thrilling look at what TV can be when it looks to its past and finds ways to update old formats for the future.

The worst thing about Room 104 is that it’s completely inconsistent. The most satisfying episodes function like one-act plays, with well-structured narrative arcs and twists and reveals. The most irritating ones feel overly self-indulgent—transparent opportunities for the writers (Mark Duplass wrote seven out of 12) and directors (a notably diverse group) to play around with form. Still, there’s something thrilling about a show that’s so eager to experiment.

The viewer truly doesn’t know what they’ll be getting from week to week. But it also makes Room 104 intensely uneven, with a few stories standing out in a crowd that barely transcends a quality rating of middling.
