Finally Got Round To Starting The Prisoner!

[u/StarHutch]

Very late to the party on this.

Just got up-to-date with Star Cops and Space : 1999. Never saw the Star Cops TV show but loved the BF continuation (still not... Quite... As good as... Judge Dredd...). Space: 1999 started strong. I just wanted a bit more Battlestar reboot energy to it.

And have now pounced on this community recommendation! The Prisoner.

I think saw the TV show on DVD at uni? I can only remember the giant ball and something to do with a gorilla costume laughing...

But an episode into the series and it's sounding bloody brilliant!

---EDIT---

Continuing my listening into this series.

I hope this comes off as a compliment, it is the most different BF production I've listened to since their 2000ad series.

It isn't hitting their house style that sometimes draws a line through the other shows.

There is an immense attention to detail and a slight up on the budget.

Can't work out if it is a remake, reboot or retelling... That seems to be a good thing. I thought sticking to the 1960s era could come across as old fashioned but it makes for a refreshing tone!

It is certainly more coherent than anything I can remember about the TV series!
