The Prisoner: The Complete Series: DVD Review

The Prisoner: The Complete Series: DVD Review


Released by Madman Home Ent

Essential viewing for Cult TV fans, and in many ways, setting the tone for the conspiracy mystery shows that now grace our screens, sixties' mind-bender The Prisoner is still a great, if confusing watch.
The Prisoner: The Complete Series: DVD Review

Patrick McGoohan is a high-ranking Government official who resigns and is promptly abducted. Awaking in the village, he's given a number, much like others there - and decides he will do what he can to escape.

But fighting against a system he doesn't understand, he finds it's not as simple as it could be.

All 17 episodes have been restored and look great in their latest incarnation.

As ever, the story remains as baffling as it always did, but this time, it looks great. Not really binge-worthy, this intellectual series mixed drama and mystery well, to ensure that each episode is rewarding.

Still resonant decades on, The Prisoner's a cult TV gem, and a worthwhile watch.
