On November 15th, I told everyone to tune into AMC's "The Prisoner" remake of the 1960's British series of the same name. The six part series ran three nights in a row in two hour blocks. This was the first problem. Although they were able to do this with "Roots" and gain a significant building audience, this miniseries was way to short. It was over in three days, not allowing the show material to sink in for a week before continuing the story.
The next problem, the series was edited and written strangely. The episodes did not flow well together and I was often confused about what was happening from one scene to the next. Although the entire series is suppose to built around a mystery, they need to make the mystery compelling instead of confusing. I did not care about if Caviezel's character got back to New Your or not. The only reason to continue watching is to learn what the village was. So it's a dream in someone's mind, wow, real original.
I can't blame the actors, they did the best they could with what they were given. I can blame the writers and direction: too confusing to care.
The one plus: Hayley Atwell is smoking hot!
