Existential Bars: 'The Prisoner' on Blu-Ray

TWO YEARS AFTER it first aired, " The Prisoner " remains one of the strangest and trippiest television dramas ever produced, blending the paranoia of " The Invaders ," the fixed setting of " Gilligan's Island ," the plot machinations of Kafka and the surrealist imagery of a painting by Dali or, more fittingly, De Chirico .

but a Glorious Failure:

Done with touches of madness & genius : The Prisoner may have lost the plot, but ita s still interesting [T]he majority opinion seems to be that its creator and star, Patrick McGoohan, lost his grip on the show over the course of its 17-episode run.

a The Prisonera trailer: Ian McKellen makes it all better

The original Prisoner - created by and starring Patrick McGoohan - was a brilliant, heady 1960s spy-fi concoction that defied expectation: It followed a secret agent known only as Number Six who's exiled to a mysterious "village" that he tries vainly to escape from, and held in check by a series of minders who thwart him in various ways.

The Prisoner

Does The Prisoner still hold up? You wouldn't ask that question of Citizen Kane, the Bible, the Mona Lisa, etc, and, for many fans of television, The Prisoner is regarded as their equivalent.
