  1. I’ve been watching “The Prisoner” on the #CriterionChannel. I’d only ever seen a few episodes on old VHS copies. It looks fantastic remastered.

    It’s such a masterfully weird show about surveillance and individuality.

    Anyway, I’m only on ep 4, but happy to discuss #ThePrisoner with folks.

    Be seeing you. 👌🏻

  2. I found that #DangerMan / #SecretAgentMan is on Prime (as is #ThePrisoner and #TheSaint ). I love the Prisoner, but I’d never seen #PatrickMcGoohan in Danger Man before.

    It’s a very fast paced show. At ~23 minutes, they cram in a plot that really deserves a 50 minute episode (like the Saint), so there’s no wasted moments. Even the dialog is rapid fire.

    I appreciate McGoohan’s skill at taking on different personas and accents.

    I can see why they wanted him for #JamesBond .

  23. ⚓️ Last Salute to the Commodore (Columbo, season five, episode six, May 1976) closed the season with a bizarre story directed by Peter Falk’s friend and trusted collaborator Patrick McGoohan, star of cult 1960s series The Prisoner. Commodore is divisive fare and many fans would gladly see it sunk to the fathomless deeps never to be seen again! Any fans?
