From time to time I have had opportunity to watch a few episode of The Prisoner. Several years ago when the SciFi network aired it, I enjoyed watching The Prisoner almost in its entirety. That AMC has now made the entire series available is encouraging.

With it's sense of darkness and oppression, The Prisoner reflected well the tensions of it's Cold War era. Thoughtful and imaginative, it was also slow; given the current perchance for action via violence, one has to wonder if this series could now find much beyond a boutique audience. Still one can hope. Sincerely. Earl.
