A fantastic limited surreal series where creator/writer/producer and star Patrick McGoohan had almost full creative control of everything except that he had to create some additional episodes in order to sell it to the States. This show is filled with iconic imagery, great intelligent writing and excellent direction. McGoohan is magnetic, charismatic and intense as No.6, his most famous role helped with several excellent guest actors as No. 2. Excellent location shot on a unique-looking holiday resort. One of the best credit sequences ever made too. A masterpiece.

I understand why this would have been appealing at the time of release. It's a bizarre and imaginative world filled with mystery, but this was impenetrable for me. It was very creative and many of the shows unanswered questions showed promise, but I don't think it did a good job on paying off on any of them. It's possible that I'm completely dense and missed much of what the show was trying to say, but the bigger issue here is that the show never convinced me to care. It setup a very interesting premise, and then kind of slogged through 17 episodes. To me it felt like a precursor to a show like "Lost", but it just never sank it hooks into me the way that show did. I appreciate what it was trying to do, but it was a joyless watch.

you can see the influence of this show all over the place. whether it was consumed by modern creators in their youth, or was simply the first to do certain things in the realm of television, to me this show was decades ahead of its time and stands the test of time. be seeing you.

I was obsessed with this show when I was younger. But, despite its originality, it is extremely flawed, especially throughout the second season.
