| Love it |
I loved the shows so I'm delighted to have them all on dvd. If you like extremely long show openings, totally bizarre plot lines, various psychotic mind control and manipulation techniques, as well as killer balloons, this show is for you. :) |

| Watch this show |
I bought this set for my mother, who forced me to watch it when I was young. I have the older box sets, but this one has easier navigation menu.
If you don't know about the show it's the continuation of the series Secret Agent. |

| Don't buy this set, get the British set from Amazon UK instead |
This is a good box set, but a FAR superior 40th anniversary set was released in the UK last year. That set has new, remastered transfers from the original film negatives that are much better than the ones in this set. It has better packaging, 5.1 sound, many more extras and a 288 page book included with the set. You will need a multi region DVD player to watch it but it's worth it. The set is released by Network and you can get it on the Amazon UK site for around 60 dollars. |

| Must own |
For "The Prisoner" fans this is a must-own item, and it should satisfy all but the most series-obsessed (get a life). The transfer quality is a little rough on some disks, odd in this age of archival discovery and preservation. I suppose it speaks of the undercapitalization of television production during the time, which makes the production of this series all the more a miracle. The weird end-credits mystery baffles me, but is worth noting for historical completists. |

| "Information, we want information" |
In it's time the least successful of Sir Lew Grade's many tv series, it has ultimately become the most legendary and syndicated of them all. Despite the short nature, it airs constantly (generally on PBS stations in the U.S.). Was No. 6 John Drake? Some say yes. I tend to agree with that notion. MacGoohan successfully explores the strength of the individual in a cookie-cutter world where independence is crushed and conformity encouraged. Nothing has been seen like it either before or since. People either love this show or hate -- particularly the really bizaare finale. |
