Room 104 Concludes (for good)

HBO has farewelled a number os series recently. Run (well it never really got off the ground, it was a one and done affair), Veep, Silicon Valley, Divorce whilst a number of hit mini series like I Know This Much is True and I May Destroy You have also wrapped.

With Room 104 concluding it looks like HBO has a problem with thirty minute series/comedies. I am hoping The Righteous Gemstones makes a return sooner rather than later. We all need comedy right about now.

So now to Room 104. 

Room 104 is an anthology series created by Mark Duplass and Jay Duplass. Debuting back on July 28, 2017, on HBO. HBO announced that the fourth season would be its last with it returning stateside late July, 2020. The series is now completed.

The series is set in a single room of an American hotel, exploring characters who pass through it in each episode. Each episode is a different genre from horror and thriller to comedy. Well that's how Wikipedia explains it and its true. With each episode ranging from out there to the believable there have been hits and a number of misses.

Its a show where you never really know what you will get per episode so you just have to dive in and hope for the best. Foxtel generally screens the series as it has the HBO monopoly in Australia. Season four is yet to air with the show sometimes held for no good reason.

Foxtel really picks and chooses what HBO shows it treats with the respect all series deserves. However Room 104 is definitely not HBO's best work.

The show however has had interesting episodes and the Mormon episode was 100% my favourite.

Farewell to another show taking a bow in this strange year known as 2020. Much like Room 104, everyday in 2020 continues to serve up something strange and at times unbelievable. Maybe the Duplass brothers are onto something...
