The Prisoner as metaphor

[annavere]

I am two episodes away from finishing The Prisoner. The grandaddy of all weird cult TV shows. I should really have watched it years ago, and it's oddly comforting to me currently. I had to get away from shows I was currently watching when David passed,* and this, with its hero stripped from an understandable existence with no means of getting back to it no matter what he tries, has really worked for me.

This is obviously not the usual metaphoric lense for this particular show, but I'll take it.

I'll have more practical thoughts on the show as a whole soon.



*Obviously not forever, just really needing a break before I try to carry on.

I actually wanted to get my thoughts on it posted today, but I ended up in a prolonged game of phone tag with my mother and her locksmith, so... Fun. Now I'm at work. But I will try again one of these days.

Meanwhile, chocolate might be in order...

After a day that sounds like that, you deserve chocolate.
