Premieres November 15th on AMC. Six episodes.

Ian McKellen plays No. 2. I'm sold.

Of course it won't be as good, remakes never are. But I'm still excited.

Nope, it's not good at all.

The only scenes that work are the ones with McKellen. Where Patrick McGoohan was magnetic, Jim Caviezel, who played the title role in The Passion of the Christ, almost fails to register. Put the two actors in the same scene, as in one early interrogation between Two and Six, and you're in danger of rooting for the wrong side.

This new Prisoner tries to be mysterious and compelling, like ABC's Lost. But it's not so much Lost as Misguided. The original, despite its serious themes, had a great sense of fun. AMC's new Prisoner just seems glum — and seems a lot longer than six hours. My advice: Seek out the original. Skip the remake.

Well it's over. I ended up liking it marginally more towards the end, but I realized it was less like The Prisoner and more like Dark City. A lot like Dark City, actually.

Oddly enough my Mom saw this and really liked it.

Very odd indeed.

I only watched it out of respect for Sir Ian McKellen
