| 18 of 23 people found the following review helpful  Possibly most Interesting and Intelligent TV series ever., By Nigel Funge (Redwood City, California United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Prisoner - Set 4: A Change of Mind/Hammer Into Anvil/Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling/Living in Harmony (DVD) Patrick McGoohan's `The Prisoner' TV series is perhaps one of the most intelligent and interesting programs ever created. The basic premise is that a British secret agent resigns for some reason. After turning in his notice, he is kidnapped and moved to a secret location called `The Village'. The series follows the efforts of his mysterious kidnappers to find out the reason why he quit and shows his repeated escape attempts.The series is filled with nuances that need multiple viewings to enjoy all of them. The DVD transfer is first rate with the picture quality excellent. The "technicolor" sets are shown in their vivid color. Highly recommended. This set continues to develop the series further and should only be viewed after seeing the first three. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful This set is anything but unmutual!, By This review is from: The Prisoner - Set 4: A Change of Mind/Hammer Into Anvil/Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling/Living in Harmony (DVD) It has always been hard for me to choose my favorite episodes of "The Prisoner". This is partly because we have relatively few episodes to choose from due to the series' short run, and partly because so many of the episodes we do have are so darned GOOD! This particular set contains some of the shows that stand a bit apart for me, and are a delight to get reaccquianted with. "Do Not Forsake Me Oh, My Darling" is certainly one of the stranger segments in the series, putting our favorite Village resident's mind in another man's body! Everything is quite satisfactory, except for the ending (a bit too "pat", I think). It was interesting to note three things in this episode, however; the address in Scotland on the envelope sent to the scientist, the number on the door to the Prisoner's London flat, and the fact that we learn more about Number 6's past while Patrick McGoohan is hardly even featured! "Living in Harmony" is certainly the most...

Of course, if you're reading this review, you probably do too, so you understand what I'm saying! Unfortunately, that love for those quirky shows has been exploited in the past with disappointing productions (see: "the Avengers" movie; what a tragedy).Like the broken-hearted lover, I am now leery of committment; hesitant to let myself get excited about any new addition to the ranks of remakes/reissues of my favorite old shows. However, I let myself purchase this set. I was just too much of a fan of the old "Prisoner" show to let it slide by. Honestly, I was expecting a mediocre quality disk with no interesting bonus materials, but I was amazed by the quality and amount of stuff on these disks! The quality of the shows is better than they ever looked on TV reruns, and the bonus materials are engaging and creative. If you are a fan of "The Prisoner," you will not be disappointed by these DVDs;... Read more |
