The Prisoner

https://www.lcclub.co.uk/cwnx0th There’s a remake, a new mini-series starting Sunday night. I’m a huge fan of the original show–I discovered it in the 1980s. I always knew it was a a cult favorite,  but until I read this recent Wired piece, I had no idea just how influential it’s been.

“The Prisoner” of old was a cold war thriller that served up parables about free will and social conformity.

It’s the best damned show most people never saw.
