Profile of The Prisoner

The Prisoner can be described as mind bending, contemplative, and offbeat. The plot revolves around isolation, uncovering the truth, and imprisonment or confinement. The main genres are mystery, drama, and thriller. In terms of style, The Prisoner is postmodernist, is a mini-series, and is surreal. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It is set, at least in part, in a prison and in a village.

Summary of The Prisoner

A New Yorker awakens to find himself in a place called The Village run by a man known as Two. As everyone in The Village is referred to only by a number, everyone in The Village refers to him as Six - despite he himself knowing that he has another name - and seems to know who he is. He is told he lives in The Village and that The Village is the only reality there is. Six's mission becomes to find out where The Village is, who Two is and why he is seemingly keeping him prisoner in The Village (despite Two stating that Six is a free man), and how he can escape to his life back in New York. Six has to learn who among the Villagers he can trust - who include a doctor named 313, a cab driver named 147, and Two's own son named 11-12 - in his quest to escape from The Village. Six also has recurring memories of his life in New York, including an encounter with a woman named Lucy, which may be part of the key to discovering why he's in The Village.

Skip this, watch the original

This was a sad, sad remake. Surprisingly bad, given such a good cast. There is absolutely no sense of movement or vitality in the plot. You want to like it, but it is so slow and vague that you find yourself wondering if you really should... Read and rate it
