Room 104 - Season 1
Set in a single room of an average American hotel, Room 104, the series tells the story of different people who go in and out of the room. The series is an amazing achievement, a testament to the power of storytelling even when confined to an extremely limited space.

While other installments of the show are not as jarring or propulsive as the micro-horror stories, I found myself admiring the show for taking big, sentimental swings around the room.

As with any anthology series, the results are incredibly hit and miss but I appreciate the effort from the front of the room to the back.

Setting several stories in one place isn't exactly a groundbreaking idea but Room 104's cleverness lies not so much in the concept, but its ability to successfully capitalize on the intrigue.

With each episode, one or more elements was off... the set-up, the payoff, or the overall premise was lacking.

There's romance and dance, revelry and mystery, something new around every corner. And though the 12-episode season isn't without the occasional dud, Room 104 is generous in that you can simply check in and out at any time.

Even the slighter episodes don't feel like missed opportunities or wasted time: The passion is always present, which goes a long way on its own but is cleverly extended by the two showrunners.

It's not the best new show of the year or anything... But the hits rise to sublime heights, and even the misses are intriguing on the level of, "I can see what they were going for here."

Half the fun of Room 104 is not knowing what you'll get in a given episode. Not every half-hour will connect, and some might be annoyed by the half-baked nature of some of the stories. But that's also its charm.

The anthological aspect is made even more enticing, as the single-serve nature of the show means the creative highs will be higher and the lows lower from episode to episode.

Listen up, fans of Hitchcock and American Horror Story. Room 104 might be your next obsession. With a premise that feels experimental, Room 104 explores one of film's most traditional styles -- telling a story from the inside of just one room.
