Why did Patrick McGoohan's British agent resign? Where was the Village? And who, really, was Number 1? The Prisoner ends with its key riddles unanswered. It goes without saying that no Prisoner collection is complete without these final three episodes. A curiosity, "The Girl Who Was Death," isn't cricket for the series. It is a surreal fairy tale that plays like a long-lost episode of McGoohan's previous TV series, Danger Man, with Number 6 avoiding a series of assassination attempts before saving London "from the mad scientist." But "Once Upon a Time" and "Fallout," both written and directed by McGoohan, get back to business, as Number 6 suffers "Degree Absolute"--his most intense, last-man-standing, psychological probe yet--at the hands of Number 2 (Leo McKern, reprising his role from the episode "The Chimes of Big Ben") and at last prepares to meet the elusive Number 1. Those who just want to sample this cult fave series are advised to stick with the intriguing first episodes included in Set One. --Donald Liebenson Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Stick with first 10 episodes There is NO bigger Prisoner fan than than myself - but you can skip these episodes. Why? Let me first say - the first 10 episodes of The Prisoner is absolute genius. They have unmatched cat-mouse dialog, acting, intensity, unsettling ideas, visuals, music and mystery. They can be watched over and over again. McGoohan and company were on a roll. (Luckily, those first 10 are available in the exact order that there are sold in this DVD series. And thats what I own now.) Read More Rating: - The Price of Finality??? I love this show and I am finally collecting them on DVD, as the VHS versions I have jam up in the player, and have really been a waste of time!! But I have one question: why is the final volume of the set so much more expensive than the other four? They all sell for under $10 used and this one is nearly $25 used. I'm having some trouble making sense of that one. I guess they get you hooked and then you have to pony up if you want the solution to the puzzle....no escape from that one!!! At any price, ... Read More Rating: - Questions are a burden to others SPOILER ALERT!!! What follows divulges show secrets. If you haven't seen The Prisoner, do NOT read on. (I am assuming that most people at all interested in a show as old as The Prisoner have already seen it.) Now, with that said, The Prisoner is easily, hands down, without any reservations the single greatest TV show in history. (A close second, in my book, would be the first four Doctors on the ORIGINAL run of Doctor Who.) The Prisoner wasn't only entertaining, it was thought provoking. To ... Read More Rating: - Where all your questions DON"T get answered. Here concludes Patrick McGoohan's classic miniseries about ex-secret agent "No. 6," and his struggles to understand and escape from "The Village," where he's held by unidentified captors. Here is where the series transforms from offbeat spy thriller to surrealistic allegory. In A&E's revised, "fan-preferred" order, "Girl Who Was Death" remains immediately before the two-part finale. This supports my theory that "Girl" is more than a comedy (with one disturbing detail -- children as interrogation ... Read More Rating: - "Them Bones, Them Bones, Them... Dry Bones!" Back in 1967, an allegorical television show emerged that has yet to be topped by any other English television series. The show: The Prisoner. Starring Patrick McGoohan, he plays the role of No. 6, a former secret service agent who resigned for unknown reasons and then finds himself knocked unconscious and trapped in a seemingly peaceful place called "the Village." Each episode features a new No. 2 (with a few exceptions), who watches his every move and strives to find out why he resigned. The only superior is ... Read More see more
