a decent watch, that deviates by far from the original series, adding new things and taking away some of the magic. it's worth a watch, but some of it is a bit unsavory--only because of sheer ridiculousness, but that's nothing a fan of the original can have a problem with.

A remake of The Prisoner, simply by it's existance, will polarise fans of the original series, which leads to some unfair criticism towards this surprisingly well crafted reimagining. The same basic plot as the original is present, but the much feared explanation is actually interesting and well earned. McKellen does well in his role, but Caviezel, though enjoyable enough, lacks the charisma and intensity that McGoohan brought to it. The Village is also less surreal and dissapointing as a result

Started off good but after the halfway point I just wanted it to end.

So long and boring...really brought nothing to the table. Still haven't seen the last 2 parts, so if something miraculously changes then I'll update the score. But honestly, I don't even know if I'll bother to slog through the last 2 parts...

Have not seen the original series, but this has to be a failure. Not fresh in my mind, but I remember being frustrated by its waste of a decent enough premise. Caviezel is annoyingly bland as usual, McKellen is good.

The ONLY thing worth it in this miniseries is Ian McKellen (which begs the question of why he got involved). This was absolutely terrible.
