When a show is so different from one episode to the next, it is hard to properly recommend or discuss it. Whereas something like Twilight Zone or Black Mirror you know the general vibe, Room 104 truly is always changing. Some episodes are better than others. And because some episodes are better than others, the constructed order of the season alters the season rating based on pacing and flow from one episode to the next. There are also a bunch of quality actor appearances. With that being said, I find it hard to recommend the show as a whole, but if you are an anthology show fan, you should at least give the show a chance.
Average Season Review: 7.38/10
Recommendation: At Least Give it a Whirl (For Anthology Show Fans)
dropped. its way too mediocre. i can do mediocre but this is just... too much
It's hard to make any opinion about a show that has a different style, cast, story and quality for each episode. It doesn't have a particular atmosphere or genre, it redefines itself with every single little story. Some of the stories are interesting, some of them are rather not. Usually these anthology series at least have the same atmosphere or way of storytelling throughout the whole show, but not this one. This one thing about it makes it pretty hard to say anything about it, and also to watch it. Because you can get obsessed with the second episode's characters and plot - as I got - but can get very bored by the third one - as I got. I would say that I could give some episodes 10 points out of 10 or something like that - because there are some truly brilliant piecies of art among those short stories - , and 5 of 10 for some other. But overall, so far there has been more great ones, although it is not granted at all that it will stay the same. You can never know. And this will drive you crazy for sure. Or at least me.
remake of inside nº 9 ? ..
There's no two ways around it, this is a bad series. Every single episode is a lengthy exploration of literally nothing. No intrigue. No particular acting skill. No finding yourself drawn to the characters or setting. This is leftover ideas compiled with hot names onto a series of abject failure and low effort. You see every plot point coming. You can predict the dialogue. It's just all-around cheap. You won't remember moments or lines from old episodes. You won't care to revisit even a favored actor who got conned into appearing in this. I watch it sped up like a CW show so, on the off chance we're discussing it and I just finished an episode, I can lay into the degree of specific criticism that manifests as the tar creeps over me. I actually decided to rate it one heart lower after reading this because it's HBO. You don't get to be HBO and accept this. That's a poor job.
Yeah sick! I love it
Too much weird shit for me.
Feels a lot like art school students got some budget and this was the result
I am only half way through the second season at this moment. I can't recall ever seeing a show (particularly anthology shows which I have watch many of) with such consistently horrible endings on basically every single episode.
A decent anthology series. Each episode is another story of different people at different periods of time. Anything can happen, and it does. Some stories are really good, some are a miss, some leave you scratching your head.
TheLeVie — thank you for a great review.
Overall very weird. Not quite sure if I like it on episode 6 now. I like that every episode is different and that nothing is connected so far but all I can say is that perhaps it's a bit too weird for my taste or not weird enough.
