The Prisoner TV Series 2009

November 16, 2009 By 4 Comments

It looks like remakes of classical TV series, is a done thing lately. First we had the remake of “Melrose Place,” then we had the remake of “V,” which is about alien visitors, and now it appears that we have the reimagined version of the 1967 classic “The Prisoner.”

In the original, Patrick McGoohan starred as the agent who was taken to the Village and became known as Six. But in the new version of “The Prisoner, which premiered on November 15th,” the nightmare state has been replaced with the nightmare corporation.

Jim Caviezel stars as an analyst for Summakor, which is a company the collects surveillance data. After he quits his job, Michael (Caviezel) wakes to find himself in a strange desert. He is lost and doesn’t appear to have a lot of memories of his past.

He then finds his way to the Village, where he meets the leader Two, who is played by Ian McKellen. According to time.com, the new series of seems to keep some of the original’s hallmarks, including Rover, which is a balloon-like orb that patrols the Village.

Did anyone see the first episode last night?

    This mini series is going to be awesome, i know there are a lot of apprehension from those of us who grew up with the series but this remake wont disappoint.

    Also on the V remake, seem very interesting, did anyone find it strange that the alien was going to marry the lady, i mean could they reproduce?

    I am a fan of the original series and I watched both the Sunday and Monday episode of the series. So far I’m undecided about whether I even like the series or not. It has been extremely slow, and I’m hoping that is because they are trying to turn a 1 hour episode into 2 hours. The original series, if campy at times, kept your interest with some action and some humor, but the new series has very little of either. The premise in the new series that the citizens of the Village are convinced that there is nowhere else but the Village seems logically flawed to me and unsupportable as a plot device. Yes, I know they have been brain-washed and forced to not say anything about places outside the Village, but it’s a bit much to try forcing the unbelievable down the viewers throats. Ian McKellan is doing a brilliant job of portraying Number 2, but the part he was given just isn’t making it for me.
