I can sort of recommend "The Prisoner", if you enjoy mid 20th century British Sci-Fi. It has all of the quirks of that era, so don't bother if you can't tolerate that style of show.
The series finale is a bit of a train wreck, on account of the show's star writing it after finding out the series was canceled before the finale was scheduled. And an identity for the final twist was never written, so they scrambled to throw something together.
Zero percent poz. Women use feminine wiles, when the script demands they appear. There was one jeet as an extra, my wife and I both screamed when we saw it.
But overall, a decent experience to chew up 16 hours of your time if you need something to watch.

I enjoyed it for what it was but the fact that he just rushed and wrote the finale on such short notice, DESPITE creating a "show bible" was surprising. The ending is really disappointing given how cool and interesting/unique so many of the episodes are. Would still recommend for people into campy british sci-fi with a dash of Bond. Patrick McGoohan is a fascinating character and worth watching in almost anything he's in. Be seeing you! :ok_hand:
