Yes, it's original, pretty cool and those suffocating watchdog 'balls' are brilliant and it's also set in the lovely Portmeirion which gives it a defined originality but the stories are so dull and repetitive.
Pretty much every episode has begun with our prisoner #6 (Patrick McGoohan) either drugged, brain washed or mind probed and the fact he's the only actor to appear in more than one episode really doesn't help either. In fact it was quite annoying that #2 changed actor every single episode. |
Well that's an interesting take. You must be the first and only person I've ever come across to not venerate The Prisoner. I thought it was just me and I was missing something. I bought the Network boxset in a sale years back, never got past the first three or four episodes. There's no story being developed.
