One of the best series ever to have been on TV, complete now on DVD.
The set has a lot of nice additional features that viewers of The Prisoner will really appreciate.
A great blast from the past!

I was barely 10 years old when 'The Prisoner' was first broadcast in the US, but, even then, I recongnized that it was nothing like the other TV espionage / action shows at the time. Life being what it was for a grade-schooler, I never got to see all the epsiodes, but it made an impression that has lasted.
Now, with 40 years of hindsight, the box set provides a fabulous way to experience all the details and nuances that escaped me the first time 'round.
As a plus, I get to introduce it to my teens -- fans of offbeat science / fantasy TV such as Joss Whedon's 'Firefly' series -- and they, too, feel that it's a unique example, of thoughtful, creative TV.

Wow, amazing clarity and sound. Brings back fond memories of a creative show with a fabulous actor.
Enjoyed every single episode and give this 5 stars.

I can't possibly imagine how anyone could be without this DVD collection.
This was the greatest program in the history of Television IMHO, nothing else even comes close.
Imagine that, assuming that your audience is bright and intrigued and treating them like they are, with a masterful plot that makes their heads spin. This program blew my mind as a nearly-10-year-old back in 1968 and it continues to do so on these DVDs.
Never equalled, never bettered.
R.I.P. Mr. McGoohan, you were a bloody genius.
And a pox on AMC for having the gall to try and remake this. Sacrilege.
