No it shouldn't have been. This needed to stay as far removed from the original as is possible in order to have any reason for being. It appears to take the essential themes and structure and play them out in new directions. That is enough. That is more than enough. Why would you want some slavish copy that could not possibly match the first series?

A very impressive look. I think this might be worthy of the original. I taught a series of seminars on the original series back in the early 90s,and this looks to be dead on, while simultaneously taking the concept in a new direction... Be seeing it!!

Ok so the village is a mental construct in the mind of one lady where other people with problems go? Can someone explain it ?

@shonangreg If you don't like it why did you post it? To be fair, this was made 42 years after the original. Things change over time. Also, this was made by American producers for an American audience. There's always something lost in translation (look what happened to Red Dwarf).Taking all of this into account it's clear that only the concept survived. I saw the original when it finally aired here and loved it I always thought the original #6 made his resistance too obvious.This one is ok.

Woah. Rover's a BEAST.

@shonangreg I see most people prefer the original to this. Tough i cannot understand, probably because i watched this before and then the 60s versions... and i didn't like that one

the original is a clear winner- be seeing you number 11176

@shonangreg well the makers of lost said that they've been influenced by the prisoner.. so maybe it realy is a modern version of the original.

@JohnCope The problem with that idea is "Why then make a remake to begin with?" What it ends up being is nothing but a trojan horse, a vessel for the creator's own thought hijacking the interest in the original to gain access. Yes, in a way, it's fitting for the Prisoner theme. But it's also a declaration of bankruptcy in terms of creativity: Because I feel unable to generate a proper vessel for my thought, I hijack someone else's.

*sigh* I wish I was Ian McKellen.

seriously, the only thing this movie have in common with The Prisoner is the "OMG White Ballons!", that's all. Turning The Prisoner into a B action movie, one of the worst crime ever D:

this is pretty much the same as the original the only difference is that no one is aware of the world outside the village whereas in the 60s version they are aware of it but are afraid to leave because of rover and #2 as well as the mysterious #1

Almost the same as the original? It barely merits being called the Prisoner. This is heavily, heavily influenced by "LOST" for the transitions and some effects, and the atmossphere and drama is more "Life On Mars" than it is "The Prisoner".

SG2 The new series does none of this. In the first two episodes of the new series, #6 is unsure of himself. His arguments against those saying there is no outside world actually dignify their stated opinions. You don't argue with a fool. The series might be able to stand on its own, but I do not see how it can be about intellectual freedom anymore. It should not even be called a remake or reimagineering of "The Prisoner". #6 is just too weak-minded.

SG1 Well, I just watched the first two episodes, and I am quite disappointed. Maybe there will be some resolution to the way the series is being set up, but the reviews online seem to think not. #6 in the original was a master in a nearly impossible situation, and he gallantly fought to maintain his mind. He showed our vulnerabilities in his attempt, and he inspired us to look deeper and to resolve to not be swayed by adolescent though skillful attempts at bringing us into the fold. (cont'd)
