The Prisoner 2009 - Arrival

Bland, and lacking the intensity and inventiveness that made the first episode of the original series such an amazing brainfuck.

3/10 as a Prisoner remake
5/10 as a TV show

( Thoughts below the cut will probably contain massive spoilers for the first episode )

unimportant but annoying, reviews, rants

That's a shame, but I can't say I'm surprised. The original was so very WTF-tastic.

I think it's better than Danny does. It's not as good as the original "Arrival", but then few things are!

Damn. I was hoping to take Danny's word and not bother. :)

Do the badges say, "Hello. My name is ..." with their number handwritten? No? Shame.

I want to go to a seminar with those kinds of badges so I can write, ...Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." But I'm guessing it wouldn't all fit on.

[GregT] Haven't seen the remake, don't want to. But it seems to me if you were going to screw with the size of Rover, make it SMALL. About the size of a ping pong ball. Have it roll along the floor and have everyone completely batshit-insane TERRIFIED of it. And never ever show why.
