I like the original 1967 miniseries The Prisoner that was written by and starred the late Patrick McGoohan (Secret Agent, Danger Man). It is like a dream, a very surreal story about a secret agent who tries to resign but is kidnapped and taken to a mysterious place called "The Village" (an actual place in Wales that has outrageous architecture imported from structures all over the world that were being demolished in the 1920s and afterwards).

It could be taken as a secret agent / spy story, or as a metaphor for human existence, the relationship of the individual to society, of the individual to God, etc. When in the village, your name is replaced by a number. The character played by Patrick McGoohan (Number Six) would not accept this: "I am not a number. I am a free man!" Big question: Who is Number One?

A PBS station near where I grew up used to show reruns of this miniseries and would have a discussion group afterwards on the channel featuring theologians and philosophers discussing the implications of the story.

One problem with the series is that it seems misogynistic. All the female characters in the story are either simpering victims or evil villains. Still, to this day I like this show. I used to consider this series to be the crowning glory of humanity, that this series represented the greatest artistic expression of humanity in all of history. Patrick McGoohan wrote the concept and was the main character. The production company was called "Everyman Productions," an obvious metaphor. I have not yet seen the six-hour remake that was done two or three years ago. It would be difficult to improve or even come close to the awesomeness of the original series though.
