They're making a new miniseries for The Prisoner!

On one hand the tone and some of the plot seem pretty different, on the other hand the fact it's not sticking to the original may make it possible to appreciate it on its own terms.

So far to me it seems pretty interesting.

Also I'm following Warehouse 13 and while not spectacular it's pretty good with nice crunchy steampunk bits. TV could use more USB Babbage analytical engines! Also reminds me of the Lost Room, with all the artifacts with weird powers.

The trailer's recent news though

I can only hope there'll be less dancing though.

There's some crytalline towers that look a bit like the WTC in the background of the rover shot.

Also after that I looked up a few bits of the original to refresh my memory and I was amused to regognize the cab and map scene.

So far the main possible letdown for me is since they've got Sir Magneto very much in the foreground it probably means they won't change number 2 with each episode. I like the "self-centred environment with no conception of an outside world" thing too though I'll probably regret the idea of an obvious prison but where you don't know who's a jailer and who's a prisoner.
