The Prisoner returns!

[€uroMeinke]

I enjoyed the first two episodes, and am curious to see how this goes, though some things bother me.

So far not fond of the concept that people pretend there is no outside world like The Village or The Truman Show - I mean, the village lacks the necessary infrastructure to have an automotive industry, agriculture, brewery, etc. At least in the original, the outside world was acknowledged.

The families bother me also in this respect - and Alex's conundrum was one I also shared - who's number is on the house? But the family thing makes me thing we'll have some sort of Village reveal - which would only be better than the towers having some sort of 9-11 tie in.

I do like the homages to the original show - 93's jacket and apartment, the font, the set design of the shrinks' office, Big Ben, some of the dialog, including the comment that 6 needs to put some meat on "dem bones" and rubber mask wearing interns. I do hope we'll get an old fashion bicycle in one of the coming episode.

I'll keep watching, and then will probably pull out the DVDs from the original.
