Doesn't sound promising ...

... The Prisoner: Then and Now. AMC Remakes a Classic Television Series.

"I'm not sure why this remake is needed at all..." Me either, Paul.

  1. Concur. The original series is brilliant and it's hard to beat Patrick McGoohan, the master of pent-up anger and fortitude. I'm just going to watch the original again.

  2. Frank, I'm waiting with more-than-a-little anxiety. The original series, with Patrick McGoohan as #6, was one of several from Britain that counted me among their devoted fans.

    When it come to The (new) Prisoner, though, one question I have in advance of its premier is, "how much respect will producers of the 'reinterpretation' show for viewers' intelligence and imagination?" As much as producers of the original showed? I hope so.
