@Pop Syndicate-- Getting Ready for the Prisoner
" The new village looks more normal than I would have expected. When I think of the original Village, it seems small and self-contained to me. It was an artificial environment that didn’t try to be anything but that. It was a prison and still maintained some aspects of that. The new Village looks too normal to me. It looks like it’s trying to be a small town and have a relatively normal environment. From the clips I’ve seen, the new Village doesn’t feel as alien or foreign as the original feels to me."The new Village feels like something out of The Truman Show."
Over at Pop Syndicate, David Rasmussen and I kicked off our look at AMC's new The Prisoner with a little bit of back and forth article talking about the original Prisoner and what we expect from the ongoing series. David already has reviews for the first two episodes up here and here. I'll probably try to get something up about the opening two episodes today.
