Geez, I didn't even like the remake of it that Jimmy Stewart did in the 70s!

It totally worked for me. Granted, I was eleven when I first saw it, so I had plenty of time to sit and watch it over and over again on the VCR and figure out what it all meant, which probably most people didn't, but it totally worked for me.
I think what most people don't like about it - and this may not be your opinion - is that the show sort of danced back and forth between 'the real world' and allegory, with most of the series being mostly on the side of real world, and then the final episode was squarely in the allegory side. There was no warning to the shift, so I imagine it blew a lot of people away.
Still: I'll watch the new show, and give it a fair shot.

The original was great, but the ending was a train wreck. I'm curious as to where they're going with this one.

...Could be the TV version of the 80s Comic Book Miniseries sequel to the Prisoner. Now *THAT* was terrible!

On the one hand, the original Prisoner is the best SF show of the sixties, and the best Spy-Fi show ever. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to remake it, and it's got a kind of timeless quality to it.
On the other hand, I'm sort of intrigued by the odd departures this ridiculously long trailer makes: the idea of the Village being solopsistic, and no one having any memories of the outside world is intriguing. It's also interesting that this is an anglo-american-looking production (Though the original Village was also international, they made a point of saying, virtually everyone we met was british. No Americans at all.)
I dunno. I'll watch it, and I'll grant that it looks interesting, but I'm skeptical and I feel a bit dirty about it. What do the rest of you think?
