The first three images seem unrelated to me. Also, the lighting in the last two pictures is consistent, but it doesn't relate to the first two. Overall, I really like the look you've established in the final shot, but I'm having a hard time picking up on the story here.
I like the dramatic lighting in the 3rd and 4th shots, especially the 4th..
The tv doesn't seem to play a role in all the images..the object in concentration changes in each frame without any specific subject being all that constant (for ex: the tv is the main player in pic 1, then the clock in pic 2, then the fridge in 3, then back to the tv in 4..
I have to say that the lighting on your 4th shot is amazing. When I first looked at your set the 1st image of the TV confused me and seemed somewhat unrelated. I can understand why you would want it in there, but I wonder what were to happen if you moved the clock to the beginning and the TV right after. I also noticed that your lighting for the first two images is quite different from the last two images which makes it hard to connect all four as a set. I think that if all of the images were in the darker environment you would get a better sense that it's 3am, unless it's supposed to be 3pm. Perhaps for the clock you could use a strong light on the face of the clock to bring out the fact that it's 3am. Again, the lighting on your final shot is amazing.
The series seems really confusing on first look, but I think I understand it's something about how the TV affects daily life. Like what others said, the lighting is very interesting on the last photo, it almost seems surreal, which also gives the last one the most tension/conflict rather than resolution. If you have more a obvious constant in all the photos such as lighting or a setting, or a object it might help pull the whole thing together
I really like the look of the last two shots, especially the lighting from the tv. The picture of the clock takes some effort to connect it with the other two. I don't know if it could maybe be fixed by pushing up the saturation in the first two pictures to match the others, but it might help in tying in the vibrant colors of the last picture.
ian ///the biggest problem i have with this is the change in lighting..if it is 3am...why not have the room dark...just the glow of the TV to keep you company?
the 2, 3, 4 are fairly controlled...the first might use some cropping fr the upper left corner...but if this about about a restlessness...use the ambient light from the TV, Fridge, maybe a lamp of nightlight...or a digital clock that glows...

The lighting in the final two images is spectacular, but I agree that the conflict gets a bit muddy.

nice concept though.
I agree that it is confusing up until the end. I love your forth shot with the dramatic lighting.
