I saw there's a thread for The Prisoner mini-series remake, but are there any fans of the Patrick MacGoohan's immortal original (from 1967) in this place?
I love it. The quality of the writing is some of the best I've seen (in most of the episodes, at least), and the last episode is the finale to end all finales. It's just so rich. There's art cinema narrative sequences and there's ridiculous 60s sci-fi capers, and the style of it looks like nothing else on earth.
It's probably a tie with Twin Peaks for my favourite TV show. Sadly, like with Twin Peaks, there are major clunkers. Oh well, that's just the way it is. But the best hours are in some cases almost too good to be true, and above and beyond most of even 60s art cinema, imo.
PS: Which episode is your favourite? I'm tied between Free for All and Many Happy Returns (with the first and last episodes being other obvious candidates).
