Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

If you've read the other reviews you know this is not a remake of the original TV series of The Prisoner. This is much smarter, more obscure, certainly more existential. Not so much about trying to escape from an externally imposed imprisonment as a study of reality and self-delusion. This is not a straight-forward linear plot, but one that challenges the viewer. It's a wonder that it ever got made for television.That's the substance of my views, but I'll add that the acting is stellar, the cinematography is haunting, and the crisp directing and editing demand that the viewer pay attention and make an effort to sort things out, which some viewers may resent.The wide range of viewer scores for this six-episode series produce an average score of 6.3 (in November 2015), which is meaningless. Those who liked this series loved it and those who didn't like it, for whatever reasons, hated it. There are not many opinions in between the best and the worst, so the average of 6.3 only indicates that slightly more people loved it than hated it.

The first three times I did not quite understand it the fourth time I liked it. Mind you I was home sick with phenomena for over a week, it was actually double phenomena so I think I kept drifting in and out of this movie I was watching. Which is why I watched it so many times but not only did I enjoy it I loved it..............Loved the old guy Ian the great thing is the whole in the ground when the child fell in now that was heart wrenching but it was real good as it brought tears to my eyes at least and hell I was sick for most of this viewing. It was on for at least a week or so I am unsure how many episodes that there are if anybody know let me know. I read that there are 360 Minutes I believe that's only four hours I watched this for way more then four hours. I am sure it was at least fifteen hours or longer but it could include commercials.CheersStan 100% Canadian and dam proud of it.

I am a huge fan of the original. Let's get that out of the way. I was well aware with how much people hated this and how 'bad' it was supposed to be when I sat down to watch this - so I have to admit that I was rather surprised with how much I enjoyed the experience. It is very different to the original version - it's polar opposite in fact, in that the 6 in this version is always one step behind 2 and is much more submissive than the Patrick McGoohan character. This change in character seems to have irked some people, but I didn't want a straight remake of the original and I found the whole concept here to be, whilstnot exactly fresh, intriguing enough to keep me interested and stimulating enough (especially Ruth Wilson) to have me hooked for six hours. What made the biggest difference to me was the fact that the ending made sense, it allowed the viewer to tie the knots and draw and out ones own conclusions, rather than just confuse and frustrate as did the ending to the 1967 version. The explanation was fascinating and the conclusion was very through provoking. If you do head into this, go in with an open mind and know in advance that it is very unlike the original. I believe that that will make all the difference. Like 'Lost', it doesn't make full sense, cannot be simply explained, but it's the journey that counts. I enjoyed the journey, was entertained for 6 hours and that means that this series (in the words of 'Hunter') "works for me".

At first i was skeptical about this, i have seen a bit of the original series and didn't really like it, and the first couple of episodes of the new series i wasn't sure. However, the plot develops -in my opinion- very well, and actually there are some very nice lines in the script. In terms of acting, i don't know where everyone saying they're dreadful is sitting. The show has very little in the way of soundtrack so the acting is not quite as Hollywood-ized with melodramatic orchestral scores, meaning that the entire mood is set by pure acting ability, and i think it sets the mood very well. There are a few imperfections, but its a lot better than a lot of the rubbish on TV.I think its naive to compare this series to the old series, 40 years have passed since then and audiences are completely different. The plot is a little confusing but its stimulating, and confusing plots are good because it challenges your brain, engages, makes you think. Perhaps a lot of the reviewers aren't familiar with this idea.
