Only a show as brilliant as The Prisoner could make a big white balloon utterly terrifying! An absolutely astonishing series.
-
One part Ian Fleming, two parts George Orwell, a pinch of Arthur C. Clarke - mix well, and you have a story that's both exciting and eerily prescient.
-
I loved this show growing up and amazed how cool it still looks and sounds today. Pure cold war entertainment with a big dash of psychedelia.
-
I feel so blessed that in my lifetime Lew Grade saw fit to listen to Patrick McGoohan, who was becoming tired of his role in Danger Man (Secret Agent for US viewers), and give Patrick the complete freedom to do whatever he wanted as a new series. That freedom resulted in this iconic and legendary series. The Prisoner was far ahead of its time, iconic, and brilliant in every way.

55 years later...we have a complete surveillance system in place....in 2019...we are all living in the village now!!

Christopher Nolan’s going to have a blast with this
-

Christopher Nolan’s “The Prisoner” - Coming Summer 2026

It's utterly amazing that The Prisoner is still so iconic in 2020 . 17 episodes are all we got and they are incredible.

This was a really incredible show. Was decades ahead of its time. Patrick McGoohan was the creative force behind this series. He understood how mass media was being used to form our outlook, he didn't let his children watch the telly. Very smart man. We will miss you Patrick!!!😘🤗

I loved this show since the 60s. I was a teen and really enjoyed seeing TV written that good. It always puzzled me when they cancelled it because "Nobody understood it.". Watching "them" trying to break his will, and the psychological methods they used in an attempt to test his loyalties, is still some of the most mind-bending TV one could ever see.
-
This drama is a legendary show for me. It was broadcast only once in Japan, so at the time I could not record it, I was never able to know the detailed episodes again. I am very happy to be able to watch it now.

The Prisoner was, and still is, the greatest piece of Television in history. A masterpiece ahead of its time.
-
I just noticed after all these years, after he resigns and he is in his flat packing for his dream vacation or dream retirement destination, the pamphlets he packs are ironically all of a beautiful island, then he is kidnapped and exiled to a beautiful island as a PRISONER. What a brilliant series, way ahead of its time, I remember it fondly. RIP Patrick McGoohan.
-
The balloon show! I remember this as a child. I only remember frustration and a constant sort of claustrophobia when I watched it. It is a profound psychological dystopian deep dive for a TV series.
-
When I was a young child. One night... I snuck into the living room while my parents were asleep and turned on the tv. We were not allowed to watch tv as kids in my house. The prisoner is what came on the screen. I had never experienced anything like this. I was confused and entranced. For years I had never heard or seen again of it and became convinced it was a dream. True story...

The best James Bond we never had

"I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, de-briefed, or numbered"! Any of us have any hope of living like that now? Sadly we are all numbers in someones data base now.
-
"The Prisoner" is SO RELEVANT today in 2021 and the Admiral is right: "We're all pawns."
-
One of the greatest opening sequences and theme songs of all time
