History Series / Room104

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Even for a show where every story is unique, the creators manage to shake up the format. One episode is a maid's life story told entirely through interpretive dance. Another is a documentary about a RealLife father and son artist duo, who are invited to use the Room 104 set as a canvas.

* EnfantTerrible: "Ralphie" features a babysitter terrified by a little boy who shifts from quiet and calm to maniacal and violent without warning. [[spoiler:[[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness or does he?]] ]]

Set in the eponymous motel room, every episode is a self-contained story following a different MinimalistCast of characters. The show is a true GenreRoulette, with stories switching from BlackComedy to {{Drama}}, {{Romance}} to SurrealHorror... sometimes in the same episode. The only constant is the room itself, which eventually is revealed to be far more sinister than it appears.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: The woman in the wall suggests Catherine's illness is all in her head and recommends masturbation as IntimateHealing, which Catherine enthusiastically tries. It doesn't work, because she turns out to have Lyme disease.

* IllGirl: In "The Woman in the Wall", Catherine is suffering from an illness that leaves her in constant pain and almost immobile. Though the woman in the wall says it's all in her head, she eventually learns she has Lyme disease.

** Then comes "The Last Man," a [[GenreMashup medieval fantasy musical]] that largely takes place in a barren desert, with the room only being used in a few scenes.

* CondescendingCompassion: In the episode "The Hikers", the episode centers on two FatAndSkinny friends rooming at an inn during a big hiking trip after they graduated from college; [[spoiler: the episode shows the skinny girl trying to sabotage her fat friend's hiking trip, to motivate her to "get her life on track" i.e. lose weight, which surprises the fat friend (who so far has a job lined up after graduation and doesn't care about whether she is thin enough for other people). Then the skinny friend reveals she finds her friend disgusting-looking and pities her, claiming that if it weren't for her, the fat girl would have no friends, leading to the thin friend having a [[PsychologicalProjection narcissistic breakdown that reveals her own insecurities]]]].

** Then comes "The Last Man," a [[GenreMashup post-apocalyptic fantasy musical]] that largely takes place in a barren desert, with the room only being used in a few scenes.
