Notes

US/UK co-production. A remake/reimagining of the 1967-1968 TV series. Produced to air as 6 weekly episodes, the episodes were reedited into three 2-hour episodes for initial broadcast in the US. Patrick McGoohan, co-creator and star of the original series, was invited to appear but declined; another actor plays a character resembling the original Number 6 in the first episode.

 Remaking something like The Prisoner was probably an idea doomed from the start - even Patrick McGoohan's ideas for doing so were ill-conceived. DC Comics did a half-decent sequel in the 80s but even it was pushing things. But AMC tried their best and this remake wasn't that bad. This version wisely decided to take things in a different direction for the most part, giving the nature of the Village a 21st century twist that I won't spoil. I actually liked it on the whole, even as a huge fan of the original. The new Village (the sets were built mostly from scratch in Namibia, apparently) had its charm though didn't hold a candle to Portmeirion, Wales. In retrospect I think this will be remembered more for its cast than the actual storyline. Aside from Ian McKellen it also had a pre-Person of Interest Jim Caviezel, a pre-Agent Carter Hayley Atwell and a pre-Affair Ruth Wilson. It's worth watching on that basis alone.
