Bananas in the Falklands does like some tv, but in general the quality of most television is pretty dire. Take for example the remake of the prisoner, which i have never seen but heard of.
The prisoner is an abstract tale, there will be people who plain dont do weird, or insist that the 1960 version was way better. It is a suffering of the remake syndrome though.
Ian McKellen (blessed be the white suit) is genius, as is the set design. I did not grok the white ball things but the thing has a pulse and deserves a nod to modernity rather than being stuck to a single generations perception even with Jim Caviezel as number 6.
The props might change but theres a lesson fo all in the prisoner, See
