How it feels

Each episode is set in the same hotel room in New York City but in different years. A different group of characters occupies the room in each segment. The series explores the strange and private moments that happen inside that room.

What happens

Hotel Room (sometimes referred to as David Lynch's Hotel Room) is an American drama anthology series that aired for three episodes on HBO on January 8, 1993, with a rerun the next night. Created by Monty Montgomery and David Lynch (who directed the first and third episodes), each episode stars a different cast and takes place in the same room of a New York City hotel, in the years 1969, 1992, and 1936, respectively. The three episodes (totaling 99 minutes) were intended to be shown together in the form of a feature-length pilot, with the hope that a series in a standalone half-hour format would be produced later. Following a mediocre reception, HBO chose to not produce more episodes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
