The Prisoner 2009
Started yesterday in the US. No date yet for the UK yet. The first episode was OK, although it did seem to be a bit slow paced. I don't know how similar it is to the original version though. Anyone else gunna watch this?

Re: The Prisoner 2009
will give it a go - the original is an absolute classic and will be very hard to match.

Re: The Prisoner 2009
Didn't realise this had started over there.
I'll be watching. As for the original... a classic, & definitely worth watching :tu: |
Re: The Prisoner 2009
I'm quite enjoying this. I don't know how it compares to the original (I never really watched the original), but it captures the slightly out of time weirdness of the original perfectly.
What I mean by that is that the original seemed to be set in a nightmarish 1950s holiday camp (with good reason :) ), and the remake still seems to be set in a nightmarish 1950s holiday camp. |
Re: The Prisoner 2009
Here we go again, the Americans playing around with a British classic. Look at what they did to "Life on Mars."

Re: The Prisoner 2009
I have now seen the first 3 episodes and am really enjoying it. Sir Ian McKellan is great as No2. They haven't messed with too much of it and it has a similar feel to the original.
I even noticed the big white ballon still makes an appearance. There are only 6 episodes as its just a mini series. IITV already have a site in place for the new series http://www.itv.com/drama/cult/theprisoner/ no airdate just early 2010 at the moment. |
Re: The Prisoner 2009
Am I the only one who is really confused with episodes 5 and 6?

Re: The Prisoner 2009
Have you ever seen the original? Its pretty strange and confusing at the end too.

Re: The Prisoner 2009
I just watched the first one and thought it was ok - I will now watch the rest ;)
It was indeed nice to see the rover (beach ball) at the end. Not sure about the two towers thing tho. |
Re: The Prisoner 2009
Bet the new one aint filmed at Portmeirion. Lovely village that
might give this a go eventually :) |
Re: The Prisoner 2009
I've watched the first four, but haven't bothered to watch the final two yet. I suppose I should, but it didn't really grab me that much.
