I have just finished watching (or falling asleep to) the ITV re-make of The Prisoner. I can truly say it was terrible. Yes, I remember that no one understood The Prisoner when it first came out though every one watched it avidly, certain that it would all come clear in the end, which it didn't. But it was excellent!
This remake was clunky, dull and seemed to miss the point entirely. It seemed to imply it was all dreamed by 2's wife who was on special drugs to keep her dreaming, until her son murdered her. Anyway 2 appeared to be 6's boss in the security firm for which he worked and which he went back to, I think. Whatever.
Bad doesn't get close to it!
