Okay, it is no secret that the Duplass brothers have the capacity to entertain some very far out ideas and concepts that find their way into their film and television projects. From what we know about their latest project, Room 104, they have definitely not let up when it comes to their ability to travel beyond what is considered normal. In fact, in the creation and production of Room 1004, the Duplass Brothers waste no time indulging their most out-there concepts.
First of all to experience a hospitality comedy-drama series like this, you would have to make a call to speak with a guy named Norman to book a room at his family-owned hotel. The genre and range of the series follow the new blueprint of merging genres with the series introducing dramatic moments infused with a comedic experience. This is a blueprint that has proven very successful over the last several years.
Taking the anthology approach to the creation of television series seems to be a very popular and profitable approach that has gained a great deal of traction. The show offers a series of distinct and non-connected experienced in the same hotel room by a different set of characters each week. For instance, the mind-bending season premiere presents a situation in which a babysitting job goes terribly wrong, and then there is the episode when the actor, Orlando Jones, is a cult priest who promises his followers the ultimate level of transcendence (can’t wait to see that one).
Basically, the Duplass brothers have taken their ability to break down the barriers of the imagination to produce far-out situations that provide serious moments inundated with dry comedy.
One thing this series is not short on suspense. I promise that you will constantly find yourself on the edge of your seat anticipating the next outcome during each and every episode. Knowing how the Duplass brothers think and operate this series really appears to be a laboratory where these two mad scientists of creativity get to stretch the limitations of creativity without any sort of fetters.
While the brothers are often associate with talkative relationship dramas, such as The Puffy Chair and Togetherness, the truth is that they have often immersed themselves into the caverns of devilish mayhem, with productions like outright creepy thriller The One I Love, starring Elizabeth Moss, and the sci-fi enigmatic challenge, Safety Not Guaranteed. Room 104 is a representation of the lengths that the Duplass brother are willing to go to in order to satisfy their fetishes.
The stories that are being unveiled over the course of the first season of Room 104 fall into the same category as those other devilish project mentioned earlier, but with even greater range, and not all of the shows are immensely dark, with some having light moments that the average person can actually relate to.
The greatest level of excitement surrounding this show is the fact that you cannot predict what you are going to get from one moment to the next in any given episode. The Duplass brothers did what they do in this series. If you are into the anthology phenomenon, you will definitely enjoy it.
