The Prisoner

Reviews | Articles | Cast |

From the iconic wordless opener to the bizarre, controversial finale, The Prisoner (1967-1968) is original science fiction that consistently makes top ten lists of all time great cult shows. The 17-episode series starred Patrick McGoohan, who was also creator and executive producer and who wrote and directed several episodes as well.

The proper sequence of episodes is a point of contention with Prisoner fans. We decided to review the series in DVD order for simplicity's sake.
