Room 104: Jimmy and Gianni (2019)
Season 3, Episode 7
2/10
The Anthology of Anthologies
28 March 2023
I'm not a fan of this episode. To me, it's quite boring, and it doesn't do much for me.

Having said that, this episode is a reminder of just how vast, in diversity, "Room 104" is. You never know what you're going to see. I, now, consider this show to be "the anthology of anthologies", because the next episode could be anything. Even the genre is inconsistent.

If you watch "The Outer Limits", you know that every episode will be sci-fi. If you watch "American Horror Story", you know that each season will deal with horror. With this show, each episode could be anything. One show can be a home run, while, another, will leave you scratching your head; wishing you had turned it off.

This episode has a pretty low rating, which, I believe, is warranted. However, those who decided to write an actual review, have, often given it relatively high ratings. I understand the great divide, since, I suppose, nearly anything is bound to appeal to someone.

Originally, I was going to give this episode one star. This is because it does nothing for me. However, I've decided to give it two because, after watching the previous episode, I'm reminded that it, certainly, could have been worse.

By the end of this episode, I was wondering if it may have been a type of parody. It's not. Because it's not, this gave me another reason to give it two stars, instead of one. After all, some people really are helped by, and do value, this sort of thing. It's just not for me.

I'd love to go into the details of why I don't like this episode. However, if I do, I'll have to give spoilers, and I don't want to do that. However, I will say that this episode won't appeal to the masses. This is because, when watching an anthology, people, generally, want a good story. This episode doesn't offer that.

If you don't mind spoilers, then don't hesitate to read one of the good reviews. Nearly all of them give spoilers, in my view. This is because you can't really talk about this episode, without explaining what goes on.

It's true that, with "Room 104", you can see anything. However, as one bad reviewer put it, I really do feel that the last few episodes should be spaced out, a bit. It wouldn't hurt to mix some of these up, in terms of order. For instance, if one episode is simply us watching a wall of paint dry, the next one, really should be an intriguing story. This would help to balance things out.
