It’s good! It’s weird. Its best episodes are unpredictable to the end, and its worst are only disappointing because they can’t stick the landing.
With eerie vibes and plenty of suspense, Room 104 comes off as a fun-house lab for the Duplass duo's most out-there ideas--less mumblecore and more Black Mirror. [21/28 July 2017, p.113]
The results vary from entry to entry, as is the essence of “Room 104.” Season 4 doesn’t improve consistency in outcomes, but even a failed experiment is at least interesting courtesy of the limitations imposed on the Duplass’ collaborators.
Though one of the show’s best qualities is its graceful ability to switch tones and genres, Room 104 seems to be at its most comfortable, not to mention enjoyable, when it focuses on the plausible rather than the implausible.
All in all, Room 104 is to be lauded for its adventurousness, but more rigorous attention to quality control could have made it more consistently enthralling.
The series brandishes a consistent lack of imagination when it comes to exploring the troubled woman who falls in with a religious cult or the lonely, lost Mormon boys who feel at a distance from their strict faith. By putting focus on the circumstances they find themselves in over the people they are, the series produces little more than cheap thrills.
