positive · AI labelView post →🚨 The Prisoner complete series coming to Criterion Channel in July!!! 🚨
neutral · AI labelView post →The Prisoner is based on a simple concept: What if you made a TV show that was interesting instead of uninteresting whenever a choice between the two was available
positive · AI labelView post →In the unlikely event I ever have a massive hit TV show, I hope I have the guts to make the final episode a weird as fuck trippy freak show that makes the final episode of The Prisoner look like the Home Shopping Channel by comparison. Viewer's brains melting right and left. Go the full gonzo.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today I learned Patrick McGoohan wasn’t British. I knew he was Irish, of course, but I didn’t know he was born in NYC. He had dual US/Irish citizenship. So now I’m looking at THE PRISONER through the lens of being a show made by someone with a sense of the UK as a colonizer and oppressor.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Mandalorian: The Prisoner is definitely the best episode so far. Great cast with Bill Burr, Natalia Tena, and Clancy Brown and Matt Lanter (who voices Anakin in The Clone Wars animated show).
neutral · AI labelView post →First moments of the first episode of the new series of The Equaliser are *surely* channeling The Prisoner. Two of my all-time faves in a treat of a televisual marriage.

neutral · AI labelView post →On this day in 1968, the final episode of The Prisoner (Fall Out) debuted on Scottish Television (it aired in Midlands and Grampian the day after). Written and directed by Patrick McGoohan, many assumed he would answer the many mysteries that surrounded the series. Instead ...
neutral · AI labelView post →Share a TV series from the 1960s you love. 📺 The Prisoner.
neutral · AI labelView post →THE PRISONER ended its run on CBS #OTD in 1968. Originally broadcast on ITV in the UK, it aired on CBS Sat nights from June-Sept, 1968. Patrick McGoohan created and starred in this series about a secret agent held captive in a mysterious village. So prescient it's scary. #TVSky #ClassicTV

neutral · AI labelView post →The Prisoner is a wonderful show, and also a wonderful example of what happens when a star gets too much creative control. The quality difference between amazing episodes like the "Arrival" and "The Chimes of Big Ben" and the last two eps of the finale (by McGoohan) is bonkers.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'v been a long time Star Trek enjoyer without every considering myself a massive fan. Next Gen is the only series I'v watched in full. Thought would watch the original series for the first time and holy shit. It's as good as Prisoner or best Doctor Who of the era. Great acting, music, stories etc.

neutral · AI labelView post →Been watching Detroiters. Being that it's well-known that I'm Prisoner of the Moment Guy it should come as no surprise to you that I'm pretty sure this is the funniest show ever made.
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay so Danger Mouse is a parody of Danger Man and The Prisoner is sort of an unofficial follow up to Danger Man so we obviously need an entire show that is The Prisoner (Cartoon Mouse Version)...uh...The Mouse Prisoner, Prison Mouse, The Mouse Trap
neutral · AI labelView post →My #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched is no movies watched this week. Viewing was two or three episodes of THE PRISONER on Criterion Channel each night.
neutral · AI labelView post →A ton of good stuff this year but this is the stuff that became immediate favorite. Especially the Female Prisoner Scorpion series (Jailhouse 41 is spellbinding) and a few Johnnie To blindspots, The Mission being in conversation for greatest movie ever made
neutral · AI labelView post →Aside from how freaking good The Prisoner is, it’s so comforting to watch a show with such vibrant colours, instead of the drab greyness that dominates visual media these days.
positive · AI labelView post →Commissioned for free by Pigeoneer! Grimm has been nice enough to show off her new Level 1 Prisoner uniform!
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Prisoner. More creators should end their series with a finale that makes no sense and offers no answers and actually just makes things more confusing.
positive · AI labelView post →Me watching the 1960s show, The Prisoner, for the first time.

neutral · AI labelView post →watching the lost Prisoner episode where Number Six defeats the Village authorities through a series of increasingly puerile jokes about Number Two "really making a splash" and "stinking up the place."

neutral · AI labelView post →My feelings on a Prisoner film adaption are mixed at best but the news does make me want to revisit this wonderful, weird series. Whenever I see that a series finale is considered controversial or getting strong mixed reactions, I think “you kids have no idea…”

But here in 1969’s Dinky Toys catalogue is a shot of The Prisoner Mini Moke. I never saw one in the wild, whereas all the other wonderful craft were easily seen, if sadly impossibly expensive.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is a really interesting book. I love anyone who thinks this seriously about fiction. Short, too! He builds an argument that the show answers the question: who ran the Village, and was the Prisoner a spy? www.amazon.com/Am-Not-Numbe...
