As I remember watching this in the 1960s, with all the international rumblings of spy spying on spy, P.M. nailed the essential issue of the existence of mankind in this oppressive world. More succinctly appropriate today than it was back then, all the monitoring of everyone's daily life invades the most intimate facets of our privacy issues. Will we ever be free of government involvement and intrusion into our privacy? The banter and dialogue of the Prisoner as he deals with all the frontal sideways and backstabbing attacks from various characters is poignant and obtuse at the same time. Every victory, in every episode, however, brings him closer to the slamming bars of the cell in which he finds himself at the Village, an actual resort area that was restored and developed for the program with less than 20 episodes. The last episode finally brings him to the final victory where the government finally gives up and allows him to go free. But, I wonder, are we ever to be really free? The final moments show him to still be monitored to see if the subject slips and falls into their hands again.Read full review

“The Prisoner” is a wonderful, entertaining television series, conceived and executed with imagination. Unfortunately, this particular release is problematic. I owned two copies of the set at different times, both of which proved to be defective. After spending good money twice with nothing to show for it, I cannot recommend this DVD set. I would, however, support a quality release of this unique series.

What can I say... Same series I enjoyed the first time around. Just wish the series had lasted more seasons. BUT I own it now and can watch any time I like. That makes me happy.

This show is probably the strangest, most unusual I've ever seen. I used to have the original set which came in an over-sized case. I kinda wish I'd kept it. trying to find the correct region in a small case at a reasonable price was more then a little chalenging. every time I found a set at a good price it always ended up being region 2 or 4. If your reading this, check the upc number as this is the region 1 set.
