The Prisoner Turns 50 - Hit & Run : Reason.com - Jesse Walker:
September 29, 2017 - "The Prisoner — a science fiction series about a former spy confined in a mysterious totalitarian enclave — was both the most experimental and the most anti-authoritarian TV program of the '60s. It first aired 50 years ago today, so I'll mark the occasion with one of my favorite installments: 'Living in Harmony,' the episode that answers the question, 'What would a western written by Philip K. Dick look like?'"

"Perhaps the most overlooked Gnostic Gospel of our modern era is the cult-television program 'The Prisoner'. Although this ostensibly 60’s spy show has mesmerized people for over forty years, the truth is that The Prisoner was intended as an allegorical, existential treatise that directly echoed the Gnostic Spirit. Not only does it touch upon the very issues the ancient heretics dealt with in a modern context, its storyline directly parallels many of the Gnostic Scriptures. We tour this surreal, esoteric show and how it influenced later visionaries in television and film. We also analyze other television shows that contain Gnostic revelations. "
