Fantastic! I think creative and intelligent types seem to “ get” it the best. One of my favorite shows, especially as a child, along with Doctor Who and The mini series Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy and The Twilight Zone...I watched this on late night tv as a small small child, it inspired my imagination, of course at four years old the Island seemed like paradise and I wanted to live there! ( I also wanted to be number 1 and number 6 at various times. Rewatched recently and love it as much as I did then. It’s a must see cult classic.It was truly ahead of its times. I’ve just got around to watching “ Special Agent” AKA “Danger Man“, the supposed prequel to the show, but it’s completely different from the show, it’s in black and white, it’s a more mainstream spy thriller but I love the 30 minute episodes wrapped up neatly with our spy traveling the world, what an actor!
There’s a documentary on The Prisoner with interviews etc I’m looking forward to watching it next. This show retains its magic. As much as I always wished, I know a remake would destroy this show, and they should in no way try to remake this masterpiece. Today doesn’t have the artistry creativity and patience to attempt it. ( just look at what they did to the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy Movie and many others!) Watch this NOW in the dark alone or with a smart friend.
P.S.- I hear the cowboy episode was made simply because Patrick wanted to play Cowboys, ha ha! Nice job to have!
