The Prisoner - New AMC Series

[Teasing the Korean]

Saw the first episode. Big fan of the 60s series. Was expecting to hate the new one, but was pleasantly surprised.

What did you think?

I liked it, so I'm in for the ride. In a way it reminded me of Lost.

I didn't see the old series but a friend has been telling to make sure I see it. I looked around and found the OLD series is on AMC on demand but I missed the first 5 or 6 episodes. I may just spring for the dvds.

Visually very striking, a lot of the acting seemed a tad unconvincing - McKellen is becoming self-parodic - the narrative drive did not impel me to watch two eps in sucession but I'll record and probably stick with it.

Just tried watching the first episode. Couldn't get through it. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I haven't watched TV in months now...

I appreciated the references to the original series, but it just didn't hold my interest...

[Christiern]

I deliberately missed it—liked the original too much and just can't imagine a remake that won't disappoint.

I did watch part 1 of Collision and will be following that series.

Stay tuned for yet another "let me see, what can I post to get my total up?"

Have the first four episodes ready to watch but only managed to get through ten minutes of episode one.

I don't know, it just seemed off to me. The Prisoner = Patrick McGoohan , end of story

I watched the whole 6 hours. Nothing great, but more worthwhile than some have suggested.

Ian McKellen as Number 2 was the best thing about it.

The Number 6 guy was pretty ordinary.
