Motel rooms can be scary places. Just ask Marion Crane.
Telling tales of the characters who pass through a single room of a typical American chain motel, the Duplass Brothers-produced anthology series “Room 104” begins its 12-episode season on Friday, July 28, exclusively on HBO.
From Mark and Jay Duplass, the show tells a different story each week, with the tone, the characters and the era changing every time. Ranging from comedy to drama to horror, each episode plays like a mini-movie, offering a new discovery from one week to the next, telling tales of everyday people striving for connection and meaning.
