How good is The Prisoner for a TV show from the 60s? Surprisingly good. How good is The Prisoner compared with all the later series made for almost 50 years? An immediate cult classic. We, and many other authors, have discussed some recurring issues that contemporary serial fiction seem to emphasize, such as identity, social paranoia, conspiracies, fragmentation or otherness. The Prisoner is basically composed by all of these ingredients and it takes them as far, or even further, than any other fiction has since then.
