Editorial Reviews

The Prisoner's star and creator Patrick McGoohan heatedly denies allegations that the show is a "sequel" to his other landmark secret-agent series, Danger Man (a.k.a. Secret Agent), and indeed, The Prisoner stands alone as a testament to paranoia, with conspiracy theories that put even The X-Files to shame. Number 6 knows not who runs the Orwellian Village where he's trapped nor why "they" won't let him live his life freely. And Number 6's lack of a name, in hand with the show's "Everyman, Ltd." production company, points to The Prisoner being an allegory for humanity: Are we imprisoned by modern society? No matter what your answer, The Prisoner masks its heady thoughts well in cleverly written and rarely formulaic mini-dramas that have captured imaginations worldwide -- not to mention an ultra-loyal fan base. This 10-DVD collection culls all 17 original episodes in the series, including the eternally puzzling series finale, "Fall Out," which after initial broadcast garnered confused, even angry responses from fans. They watched hoping to find out who Number 1 was and if Number 6 would finally escape the Village, but the episode is so abstract that it leaves most viewers wondering, What on Earth is going on? Different people have different interpretations -- to give any here might reveal the ending -- so the best one can do is weigh the entire series for oneself, enjoying The Prisoner's wit, intelligence, and psychedelic weirdness, not to mention its undeniable place as one of the most unique spy series of all time.

A classic about society,freedom and the individuals role in establishing themselves as a significantby Anonymous

June 21, 2009: This DVD series by Patrick McGoohan has to be the most talked about TV show ever produced. The reason is that it creates a suspenseful puzzle for a hungry and questioning mind to try and solve. A man that has resigned from being a secret agent and looks forward to being free and happy on his own has now been kidnapped and taken to a strange island setting called The Village. Here he must try to find a path to escape all the while being trapped by the supposed leader of the village called Number Two. It becomes clear that escape is about impossible as Number Two uses a high tech device called Rover to subdue The Prisoner, Number Six,and defeat him from becoming what he shouts he is, "I am not a number, I am a free man!"

The main reason we are told that the Prisoner has been brought to the island is that he has very valuable information locked inside his brain that Number Two wishes to extract for his own purposes. The Prisoner finds out that the people of The Village also have information and are trapped and most have given up on the dream of freedom and a individual way of life. As the series unfolds we get more bits and pieces to try and solve the puzzle before us.

The main question we can have is this show more about the rights of an individual or is about the right of society to enforce its laws and rules onto the individual? Is the individual a menance to society or is society a creation to enslave the indivdual and program them at will?

This is the best in a television show that has been produced and it stands the test of time. As I view the episodes I find myself entertained as well as challenged to think, question and reason. How often has that happened in modern television?

I highly recommend this DVD series it truely is excellent and provides inspiration to think about issues on freedom, the indivdual and society.

One of the most brilliant T.V. shows of all time.by Clipper

April 13, 2009: In an age of moronic sitcoms and bland uninspiring police shows, we have to go back in time to find something worthwhile. If you want an entertaining show with a lot of depth, you can do no better than The Prisoner. It's mix of allegorical storytelling and intriguing mysteries should give any viewer a bang for their buck. The extras are great too. It is a show that pushed the boundries of television to heights that hasn't really been reached again.
