Room 104

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.

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!

The first episode as indicator it was a disaster! It not professional it's childish and it looks more like a high school film then a major production. But then again HBO so who really cares. This is not for everybody, but then again this isn't much of anything entertainment . How did this show get on Air is beyond many peoples reasoning of thought.

But then again in this age where people don't pay to watch the shows but get it free on the Internet..... you get what you pay for nothing. They don't care they just come here comment like they really paid for this but they never do. This is just a terrible version of Albert Hitchcock's decades old TV series! They try to rip off his series much as possible. But the problem is you can't because.....Albert Hitchcock's was great! This is just the high school Movie class laughable content of all of his classic. So don't put much thought into watching this garbage. HBO will Produce anything.

I wish people stop writing 3000+ words reviews. Its doesn't mean the movie is better or etc. Its mean people ASSUME writing a lot means its believable better. But the reality is LESS IS MORE!

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 saw the whole season 1 on one day and just started season 2 tonight. This is an interesting, entertaining, funny, exciting, scary show.

I have no idea how people can complain about it.

Series that have episodes that don't connect are rare and series that have only one single connection in each episode (the location) are unheard of.
