Danger, Man: AMC remakes THE PRISONER

The folks behind this have bigger stones than I.  I can’t think of any role less likely to resonate with a replacement actor than Patrick McGoohan’s John Drake…oops, No. 6.

At their site AMC is showing all the original episodes from the late sixties.   I still remember my friend John making fun of my rapt attention whenever he’d drop by while I was watching the show.  I didn’t care.   There was no recording, DVD, or online streaming back then.  When it was on I watched.  Rapt up in every detail and nuance.

I hope this is good.  AMC’s track record is great, and they’ve chosen an impressive cast for this this remake.

All the other numbers are variables.

But I can’t see No. 6 as anything but the most fixed of constants.  Patrick McGoohan is the man.
