So last night I caught the first episode of AMC's new miniseries The Prisoner. Based off the classic BBC Series which aired in 1967. Both follow similar plots; An unnamed man resigns from a position (original he was a spy, remake he works for some security company) and wakes up to find himself in surreal village. Basically from this point on he is forced to question the nature of his reality and attempt to escape from The Village. The first episode was extremely bizarre, he delved into the surrealist dream sequences rather nicely and seemed to have the story moving in a direction. I also downloaded the original series with high anticipation to watch that as well.
