AMC's 'The Prisoner'

Pretty cool edgy show.

 

Sort of in the vein of 2112.

 

It's about control of the populous by fear and suspicion.

'Dreamers' are hunted down and sent to 'treatment'.

 

The bible says in the 'last days' family members will turn each other in to the 'authorities'.

I love this series, but haven't seen it in a long time, about 15 years. We rented the whole thing and spent a weekend watching it.

I cant bring myself to watch it. I dont want my memory of the brilliant Patrick McGoohan spoiled. Same reason I refuse to watch the new Taking of Pelham 1-2-3. Some stories were meant to be left alone smile.gif

+1 yes.gif

 

Agree with you on both counts there.

 

There's only ever one Prisoner 1022.gif

 

 

and the original Pelham 123, was pretty damn awesome, especially Robert Shaw. Don't know if the remake is any good as I haven't seen it, doubt I ever will either.

I didn't know until this thread that it was on AMC, and ditto to not knowing it was a remake. I'll skip, thanks. McGoohan IS The Prisoner.

 

InTheEnd, rent the original series. yes.gif

I missed the first episode and figured that was crucial to the plot so I haven't watched it at all.

Well I watched the whole thing, even some parts twice.

 

All I can say is... "Don't take the purple acid."

 

edit: Actually, that may help while watching this movie.
