Rating:  - Questions are a burden to others
SPOILER ALERT!!! What follows divulges show secrets. If you haven't seen The Prisoner, do NOT read on. (I am assuming that most people at all interested in a show as old as The Prisoner have already seen it.)
Now, with that said, The Prisoner is easily, hands down, without any reservations the single greatest TV show in history. (A close second, in my book, would be the first four Doctors on the ORIGINAL run of Doctor Who.) The Prisoner wasn't only entertaining, it was thought provoking. ... Read More
Rating: - Assorted mind games, and the episode CBS refused to show
This classic miniseries concerns ex-secret agent "No. 6" (Patrick McGoohan), held captive in a strange prison camp called The Village. The head man is No. 2, who reports to an unidentified No. 1. What starts as an offbeat spy thriller ends as a surrealistic allegory.
In "Change of Mind," it looks like No. 6 might suffer permanent physical damage. "Mind" reminds me of the earlier "Free for All," partly because both episodes include formal confrontations in the Council Chamber*, but mostly ... Read More
Rating: - From His Fiercest Battles To His Decent Into Surrealism...
This Prisoner set is action-packed and prepares the audience for the finale set. And, yes, it can be enjoyed on it's own without the other sets.
Though these episodes are terrific, they originally weren't intended for filming and so, in some way, that makes them technically "filler"- an episode spent in another person's body, an episode in the wild west, etc. They don't connect with the central plot insomuch as the Prisoner spends the first two episodes going after No. 2 and the community at ...

Rating: - "Unmutual!"
Back in 1967, an allegorical television show emerged that has yet to be topped by any other English television series. The show: The Prisoner. Starring Patrick McGoohan, he plays the role of No. 6, a former secret service agent who resigned for unknown reasons and then finds himself knocked unconscious and trapped in a seemingly peaceful place called "the Village." Each episode features a new No. 2 (with a few exceptions), who watches his every move and strives to find out why he resigned. The only ... Read More
Rating:  - Change that Hammer and Anvil Your Mind, Oh My Darling
This portion of the 5 tape Prisoner set is to my mind, one of the more intriguing, as it includes one of my favorite episodes, "Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling". In this bizarre turn, the Prisoner's mind is transplanted into the body of another secret agent, allowing #6 to see his familiar surroundings, his former lover and the life he left behind when he resigned, but of course, he's barred from enjoying the experience as himself, and to fully realize the joy of being in love. Patrick McGoohan doesn't appear ... Read More
