Some of the episodes are masterpieces. Some are hot garbage. "My love", "Mr. Mulvahill" and "Rogue" are some of my favorites. Its almost annoying because I want to get more out of these stories, rather than just 20-30 minutes. Oh and skip "a new song". That one is just annoying.
I saw the whole season 1 on one day and just started season 2 tonight. This is an interesting, entertaining, funny, exciting, scary show.
I have no idea how people can complain about it.
Series that have episodes that don't connect are rare and series that have only one single connection in each episode (the location) are unheard of.

It has a few truly original experiences but you need to be willing to endure a few-many episodes miles away from your taste.
But it does offer a unique experience, the good stuff in 104 can be found only there.

At first, I thought I was watching another Twilight Zone or Black Mirror, and I was excited about that. But as the series goes on, I wasn't sure what I was watching anymore. I watched episodes 1-6. These episodes ranged from pretty predictable Twilight Zone-style plots to touching dramas to whatever the hell happened with the cult episode to literally 30 minutes of interpretive dance.
So after 6 episodes, I'm calling it quits. I don't think it's a bad thing to question or be surprised about what you're watching, but there's a limit to that. If I'm in the mood for sports, I don't want to see a psychological thriller. If I'm in the mood for sci-fi action, I don't want a Charlie Chaplin silent film. The problem with Room 104 is that you don't know what you're watching until you've watched it (and with some episodes, you still don't know what you watched). It's like committing to watching whatever channel you land on after mashing the buttons on your remote.
With that said, the production values are pretty good, there are some good actors, and 1 of the 6 episodes had a twist that surprised me, so I gave it a 3/10.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the show, however the first episode wasn't half bad. I know the show is mixed genre, but the first episode is more to my liking. My only criticism is that it's too short. Had they made it into a hour show, they would be able to cram in more information, create more tension, a better build up. And for that reason it felt a little rushed and I didn't feel like it was finished, hence my score of 6. This is only based on the first episode, so we shall see how the rest of the series pans out.
**UPDATE**
After watching a few more episodes, I have no desire to continue. There is no point to these 'stories'. Trying to be clever, but its absolute garbage. Go and watch Black Mirror instead.

- TriviaDavid Lynch and Monty Montgomery attempted a similar, albeit more 'them' version of this idea - also on HBO - in 1993. Their series, known as Hotel Room, spanned a single three-part episode with a different cast for each segment. The series took place in room 603 of the New York City-based "Railroad Hotel" in the years 1969, 1992, and 1936, respectively. The three episodes were created to be shown together in the form of a feature-length pilot. Unfortunately, the reception was very lukewarm and it was not picked up for further production.
