The Prisoner w Joe - Part One

This week we begin our in-depth exploration of the 1967 series that changed TV forever: Patrick McGoohan's masterpiece, "The Prisoner".

Surreal, clever, gripping, beautiful, groundbreaking, and career-ending, this series broke television's rules and forever elevated the medium of episodic television to new heights. Cited as a major inspiration for J.J. Abrams' Lost (and with a series finale that made people even angrier than Hurley being the stupid island), this show is positively infamous. With good cause, too. Nothing can prepare you for the vibes, the psychological mindf*ckery, the costumes.

Originally airing out of the intended episode order, and with no official canonical sequence, we have opted to follow along in sequence with the following youtube channel which has the entire series for free and in good quality.
