AMC, in preparation of their new The Prisoner mini-series, has posted the original 1967 series on their site. You can stream all 17 episodes of The Prisoner for free. If you have never seen it, it’s, well, I can’t really describe it. The opening credits are kick ass. The clothes and general aesthetic are late 60s psychedelic, filtered through a British lens. And there is a giant ball that scared the crap out of me as a kid that comes and takes you away if you try to escape. It really has everything you need in a TV show. Plus, Patrick McGoohan scowls like he has never scowled before.

I’m not a number!

So, I’ve never seen The Prisoner, but I am aware of the Simpsons episode based on The Prisoner. How f-ed up is that?
I’ll get to watching, sir.
