Room 104

It takes a while for the viewer to guess where the unconventional anthology approximately wants to go (and the variable quality of individual contributions and their diverse moods doesn't help too much), but with a little patience, one can still tune into the unpredictable disposition. However, the problem lies in the (lack of) quality of most episodes not written by Mark Duplass. While his scripts usually lead to some emotional catharsis, other authors often come up with an idea that could hardly stretch to five minutes, let alone half an hour, especially since deducing what the screenwriter meant by it is sometimes quite exhausting and even annoying in the case of simple episode twists. The best/most original moments are wasted relatively early, and there are increasingly fewer of them over time, while the number of pieces with negative potential to easily kill the entire product increases. From the third season onwards, I struggle more than ever, and the frequency of incomprehensible experiments that only aim to fulfill the promised "pushing creative boundaries" is too high.
