The Prisoner lasted just 17 episodes, but had a dramatic impact on sci-fi. A British secret agent retires to an idyllic village that turns out to be a prison. His captors demand information from him, which he never devolves. Instead, he spends the series trying to escape his prison. The show combined the spy thriller with sci-fi and psycho drama. It contained counterculture themes and served as an allegory for society. It also included one of the most surreal settings in pop culture history.
