Room 104 is an American anthology television series created by Mark Duplass and Jay Duplass,[1] first broadcast on HBO between 2017 and 2020.
Premise
[edit]Set in a single room of an American roadside motel, each episode explores different characters passing through Room 104, ranging widely across horror, thriller, and comedy genres.
Production
[edit]The series received a 24-episode order and all the episodes were shot back-to-back as a cost-saving measure, and they were split into two 12-episode seasons. In a December 2018 interview, co-creator Mark Duplass revealed that the third season had already been filmed and edited, and he was writing season 4. According to Duplass, episodes of Room 104 are made for "a quarter" of the cost typically expected for HBO series. Episodes are conceived in a "think tank" by the writers where they come up with dozens of ideas, and then they reach out to filmmakers that they are interested in to direct the episodes. Episodes are filmed in a "fast and loose" manner; for example, Josephine Decker directed her episode in two days only using an iPhone. For the editing process, directors do not receive final cut, and Duplass screens the episodes to a group of 20 people who work at their company for feedback.[2]
The series debuted July 28, 2017, on HBO.[3] A twelve-episode second season aired between November 9 and December 15, 2018.[4][5] On February 8, 2019, HBO revealed that a third season had been filmed and that the network were in talks for a fourth season renewal.[6] The show's twelve-episode third season premiered on September 13, 2019.[7] Filming for season 4 was completed by September 2019.[8] HBO announced in May 2020 that the fourth season would conclude the series, which started airing July 24.[9] and concluded on October 9, 2020.
Reception
[edit]Room 104 has received generally positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the first season has a score of 65 out of 100 based on 22 reviews.[10] On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an 87% approval rating with an average score of 6.85 out of 10 based on 39 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "Room 104 uses its anthology structure to its advantage, telling a series of short, eclectic stories that hit their marks more often than they miss."[11]
Reviewing the entire second season, Ben Travers of IndieWire gave it a positive review with a "B+" grade. He wrote, "the variety of storytelling on display builds such tingly anticipation, each new episode is worth it even when the narrative disappoints" and that it is "such remarkable, refreshing television that even when it's bad, it's good".[12]

[edit]Room 104
View on GrokipediaConcept and Format
Premise and Setting
Room 104 is an anthology television series in which each self-contained episode unfolds entirely within the confines of a single motel room, designated as Room 104, presenting diverse narratives involving various guests who occupy the space.[2] The stories span multiple genres, including drama, comedy, horror, and thriller, often delving into intimate human interactions, psychological tensions, or unexpected twists triggered by the room's isolation.[3] This format allows for experimental storytelling, with episodes typically running about 30 minutes and focusing on the guests' personal conflicts, relationships, or bizarre circumstances without broader external locations.[8] The setting is a nondescript, average American roadside motel, where Room 104 serves as a neutral, liminal space that attracts an eclectic array of occupants, from everyday travelers to those entangled in extraordinary events.[2] The room features basic furnishings such as two double beds, a small nightstand or table, a vanity mirror, a television, and minimal decor, creating a claustrophobic yet versatile backdrop that amplifies the intimacy and immediacy of each tale.[8] This unassuming environment underscores themes of transience and anonymity, as the motel's generic quality mirrors the fleeting nature of the characters' encounters within it.[6] Certain episodes hint at the room's deeper history or eldritch undertones, with references to events occurring decades prior, such as guests recalling stays from 56 years earlier, suggesting the space transcends ordinary time and routine motel life.[8] One installment explores an origin story for the motel itself, involving familial betrayal and supernatural elements tied to its founding, further enriching the setting's lore without contradicting its surface-level ordinariness.[10] This dual nature—mundane on the surface but conducive to profound or eerie revelations—forms the core appeal of the premise, enabling the series to probe universal human experiences through the lens of a single, unchanging location.[11]Anthology Structure and Genres
Room 104 employs a strict anthology format, with each half-hour episode presenting a standalone narrative confined to the titular motel room, featuring entirely new characters, settings within the room (such as varying decor or time periods), and plotlines unconnected to prior or subsequent installments.[2] [8] This structure, spanning four seasons from 2017 to 2020, typically consists of 12 episodes per season, emphasizing brevity and self-containment to explore diverse human experiences without serial continuity.[12] The series' genres exhibit wide variability, drawing from comedy, drama, horror, sci-fi, thriller, fantasy, and mystery, often blending elements to subvert expectations within the motel's mundane confines.[2] [3] Specific episodes demonstrate this range: for instance, "Ralphie" delves into pulpy horror, while "The Knockadoo" incorporates trippy spiritualism, and others adopt heartrending drama or nostalgic romance.[13] Experimental formats appear, such as one episode rendered in modern dance style or musical comedy, alongside psychological thrillers and sci-fi mysteries.[14] [15] This genre fluidity, enabled by the anthology model, allows guest directors and writers to test unconventional storytelling, from supernatural tales to grounded interpersonal conflicts, all anchored in the room's isolation.[1] [16]Development and Production
Creation by the Duplass Brothers
Room 104 was conceived by brothers Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass as a half-hour anthology series featuring self-contained stories set exclusively within the confines of a nondescript motel room, allowing for diverse genres, tones, and creative contributions from guest directors and writers while maintaining a fixed location to emphasize narrative constraint and ingenuity.[17] [18] The Duplass brothers, known for their independent filmmaking roots and prior HBO collaborations like Togetherness, developed the concept under their overall deal with the network, aiming to create an experimental, lower-budget format that functioned as an "incubator" for emerging talent by pairing the room's mundane setting with varied storytelling approaches, likening the process to "Tinder for television" where ideas and creators were matched to the premise.[19] [20] [18] As showrunners and executive producers alongside Xan Aranda, with Sydney Fleischmann as producer, the Duplasses prioritized simplicity in production to highlight "magic in the seemingly mundane," selecting directors they trusted to interpret the room's potential independently rather than imposing a unified style, which enabled episodes to range from comedy to horror without departing from the core location.[3] [19] [17] This approach stemmed from their desire to diverge from more traditional series formats, fostering collaboration with indie-circuit filmmakers and actors to produce unpredictable, voyeuristic tales that exploit the intimacy and anonymity of the setting.[9] [17] HBO issued a straight-to-series order for the project on August 4, 2016, leading to its debut on July 28, 2017.[19]HBO Commissioning and Filming Process
HBO greenlit Room 104 as a straight-to-series order on August 4, 2016, commissioning the half-hour anthology comedy from creators Jay and Mark Duplass of Duplass Brothers Productions.[19] The series was conceived as a contained format exploring diverse characters and stories within the confines of a single average American motel room, allowing for experimental narratives without expansive sets or continuity demands.[19] The production process prioritized ultra-low-budget efficiency, emulating the constraints of a $100,000 independent feature film rather than traditional television workflows, which enabled rapid iteration and creative flexibility.[21] Cinematographer Doug Emmett noted that costs were minimized by forgoing elements like Teamster drivers, rental trucks, and extensive set dressing, relying instead on a static location to streamline logistics.[21] This approach facilitated a "reverse writers' room" model, where episodes were developed post-concept with guest directors, emphasizing improvisation and minimal pre-production.[22] Filming for Season 1 occurred primarily in a single, purpose-built motel room set slightly larger than standard dimensions (approximately 18 by 22 feet), with 11 of the 12 episodes captured over three days each under strict 11.5-hour daily limits to avoid overtime.[21] Small crews utilized lightweight equipment, including Arri Skypanels for lighting and a dimmer board for quick adjustments, while varying cinematographic styles per episode to avoid repetition and align with each story's tone.[21] Challenges included the confined space, which demanded precise blocking, and maintaining a deliberately mundane aesthetic as envisioned by Mark Duplass, with Emmett overcoming initial reservations about shooting in a "bland hotel room for two months."[21] Subsequent seasons retained this guerrilla-style efficiency, supporting swift turnarounds between episodes and seasons.[23]Guest Directors and Casting Approach
The Room 104 production team adopted a guest director model to ensure stylistic diversity across its anthology episodes, assigning a unique director to most installments while occasionally involving creators Mark and Jay Duplass. This approach drew from the Duplass Brothers' network of independent filmmakers, prioritizing collaborators who could deliver intimate, low-budget executions suited to the single-room constraint. Frequent directors included Patrick Brice, who helmed six episodes spanning 2017 to 2020, and Ross Partridge with four; others, such as Doug Emmett, contributed to multiple seasons.[24] For season two, the lineup featured Shira Piven, Jenee LaMarque, Miguel Arteta, Ben Kasulke, Macon Blair, Mel Eslyn, and So Yong Kim, reflecting a deliberate curation of voices from indie cinema to experiment with tones from comedy to horror.[25] Executive producer Sydney Fleischmann emphasized in interviews that this rotation fostered innovation, with directors often co-writing their episodes in a streamlined "reverse writers' room" process that minimized traditional development hierarchies.[26] Casting followed a parallel per-episode strategy, assembling fresh ensembles without recurring roles to underscore the standalone nature of each story and avoid audience expectations tied to familiar faces. This enabled rapid, tailored selections that prioritized authenticity over star power, often sourcing actors from the Duplass Brothers' indie ecosystem or open submissions for emerging talent.[5] Mark Duplass described the method as an opportunity to amplify underrepresented performers, stating in a 2020 interview that the series intentionally spotlighted "newer artists" to challenge conventional TV casting norms.[27] While most episodes featured relative unknowns—like Jennifer Lafleur or Jon Bass in early outings—select installments incorporated genre-adjacent guests, such as Dave Bautista in season four's "The Murderer," but always in service of narrative specificity rather than draw.[28] The low-overhead ethos extended to auditions, conducted efficiently to fit the show's accelerated shooting schedule, yielding unvarnished performances that aligned with the creators' commitment to raw, human-centered storytelling.[7]Broadcast Seasons

Reception and Analysis
Critical Reviews
Room 104 received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its innovative anthology format and the Duplass brothers' willingness to experiment across genres within the constraints of a single motel room setting, though many noted the inherent inconsistency of the half-hour episodes.[3][55] On Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an 88% approval rating based on 49 reviews, with a consensus highlighting its adventurous storytelling.[3] Metacritic aggregates a score of 65 out of 100 from 28 reviews, reflecting a mixed but favorable response that lauds the show's risk-taking while critiquing uneven execution.[55] Critics appreciated the series' low-budget authenticity and genre versatility, from horror to comedy, which allowed for bold, unpredictable narratives unbound by traditional serialization. The Hollywood Reporter's Daniel Fienberg described it as a series with "few rules and few real restrictions," emphasizing that even weaker episodes benefit from short runtimes under 30 minutes.[8] IndieWire called the debut season a "low-budget HBO experiment" that proved a "grand success," crediting the Duplass brothers for transforming the mundane room into a space of infinite possibility.[56] Seasonal reception varied, with early seasons faring better than later ones amid the anthology's hit-or-miss nature. Season 1 earned an 87% on Rotten Tomatoes from 39 reviews, praised for suspenseful entries like the premiere but faulted by some for amateurish elements in writing and acting.[34] Season 2 improved to 90% approval, with Vulture highlighting tight, disturbing horror episodes such as one featuring Natalie Morales, though PopMatters noted it could bore or terrify unpredictably.[57][36][58] Later seasons saw declining scores: Season 3 at 58% and Season 4 at 50%, with Entertainment Voice observing bolder, stranger content in the third but a lack of dramatic focus, and IndieWire commending the finale's ambitious surrealism despite variable results.[59][60][61][62] Common criticisms centered on inconsistency, with some episodes dismissed as mediocre or underdeveloped due to the format's reliance on standalone stories and guest directors, leading to occasional lapses in performance quality or narrative payoff.[63][64] Despite these, reviewers valued the experimental ethos, with Collider noting Season 4's episodes that "soar" amid stumbles, underscoring the series' role in showcasing emerging talent within HBO's prestige framework.[64]Viewer Ratings and Viewership Data
Room 104 garnered modest viewership figures throughout its four-season run on HBO, consistent with its late-night anthology format and niche appeal, as measured by Nielsen live + same-day ratings. The first season, premiering on July 28, 2017, averaged a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 333,000 total viewers per episode.[65] The second season, which aired starting October 31, 2018, saw a marked decline, averaging a 0.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 157,000 viewers, representing drops of approximately 64% and 53% from season one, respectively.[66] Detailed averages for the third season, beginning September 13, 2019, were not publicly detailed in standard tracking reports, though the series continued to underperform relative to HBO's broader lineup. The fourth and final season, premiering July 24, 2020, averaged a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 189,000 viewers, down 35% in the demo and 9% in total audience from season three.[67]| Season | Average 18-49 Rating | Average Viewers (Live + Same Day) |
