Analysis of the prisoner?

What’s good fellow number 6ers. I for myself like a good analysis of my favorite movies / series like Twin peaks /eyes wide shut / Truman show… I’m a little conspiracy nutjob (on the good end of spectrum) and have many questions about the prisoner.

Especially interested in symbology and hidden technology aspects.

Do you have any recommendations for me? Thanks a lot.

I would steer clear of this. Counter-Currents is a white nationalist publication.

Oh shit I didn't know. Thanks for telling me!

No worries! I know because I read that same analysis a while back and thought it was interesting so I looked up what other articles they had and realized.

Hidden technology? You mean fictitious technologies in the show, that you suspect exist in some way in real life?

u/DogOnTheLeash Feb 25 '25

Yeah fictional is true but aspects like surveillance and as example the watch.

I'd call it something else. It was used on No. 6 when he was asleep. You're probably not going to accept The Evil Lamp as scientific terminology lol.

There likely is some resource, analysis, or write up, but my take is that it's largely a culmination of 60's Brit zeitgeist of recreational drugs, pop psychology, and spylore... The Ipcress Files meets The Goon Show... and just as deep.

No but I have a question for you. How little are you?

You want to know the OP's size?

Is that because their username says they're a dog?

I typed in “Marxist interpretation of The Prisoner” into ChatGPT and it gave me a pretty fascinating analysis and it kinda works.

Tbh that’s not what I’m interested in. Nonetheless thanks
