Room 104

Some of the episodes are masterpieces. Some are hot garbage. "My love", "Mr. Mulvahill" and "Rogue" are some of my favorites. Its almost annoying because I want to get more out of these stories, rather than just 20-30 minutes. Oh and skip "a new song". That one is just annoying.

It has a few truly original experiences but you need to be willing to endure a few-many episodes miles away from your taste.

But it does offer a unique experience, the good stuff in 104 can be found only there.

I'm a fan of TV shows that differ from episode to episode, in the sense that they are not story grounded to an end game; ie: getting off an island, stopping a bomb from exploding etc..etc.

Nothing wrong with grounded story lines, but I prefer a TV series that can morph its episodes giving the viewer that, "expect the unexpected" feel each episode.

This TV series IS grounded however, not to a particular story line, but to a room, a room where the strangest things can happen.

Walking into room 104 is like walking out of reality and into a hybrid reality, a mirage as it were.

This allows a lot of flexibility for the producers of the show to work with, and since it's localized to a room , it's also going to be a cheap series to make.

This episode I'm reviewing, episode 1, is not a comedy episode (though I did laugh once or twice) it's more of a drama/thriller episode that goes for just over 22 minutes.

It never gets boring, even when nothing seems to be happening as there is that weird "What's going to happen next!" feeling going on throughout the episode.

All in all, a simple story well executed with acting on par.

I don't want to say much about the story line of this episode other than: Babysitter/young boy, things get weird (but not in a perverse way) bizarre twist at the end.

If you want to watch a show like this, only a good one, you should watch show called INSIDE No9...great british show.

Season 2 has really kicked it up a notch. Last year, I watched Season 1; and although I really wasn't all that impressed, and I wouldn't bother to watch a single episode from last season a second time, there was something about the show that interested me enough to give Room 104 another try.

I'm glad I did! Season 2 has been excellent so far. Plus, there are a few stars involved this time around. Rainn Wilson kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish in episode 2, "Mr. Mulvahill."

I'm excited to see what the creators come up with next!
