This series was created years before I was even born, and somehow I had never heard about it before, but scrolling down the IMDb TV-list made me curious about its high ranking... So I watched all episodes, in sequence, and well... It was definitely ahead of time, using modern devices and ideas (apart from fighting scenes), but at present, having seen hundreds of films and series from 1960-70ies, I often felt that I was entering a world where Kubrick and James Bond creators were somewhere together and eating magic mushrooms :) I don't argue, it was all catchy to follow, in spite of a few predictabilities and trivial solutions, and the ideas behind and beyond were definitely worth pondering. Main male cast is distinct as well, beginning with Patrick McGoohan as The Prisoner / Number Six, females spend less time on screen and they are often typical beauty icons of that time.
Well, it is impossible to provide a uniform overview of The Prisoner, but I can imagine strong feelings it created at that time. I personally have always liked London and it was pleasant to watch hundreds, not thousands of cars in its streets... Life goes on, but the atmosphere has preserved.
