I recently rewatched this newer adaptation of the Prisoner and while it was mostly not great, I really did think McKellen has what it takes to be a great #2.

    There seems to be very little allegory or subtlety in any shows these days. I remember having high hopes for this Prisoner remake based almost solely on McKellen being cast in it. This was my first re-watch after watching it as it aired. I thought I’d give it another chance and maybe pay more attention to see if I missed something. I didn’t, what a disappointment.

      I tried the same, made it maybe a couple episodes.
