The Prisoner
You only think you're free.
Created by Bill Gallagher
On AMC
A claustrophobic, paranoid miniseries about identity and autonomy in which a man trapped in a surreal desert village confronts the erasure of his past and the nature of his captivity.
A man wakes up in a new place - a place he doesn't recognize, a place where people have numbers instead of names, a place called "The Village" where all traces of his former life are renounced as delusions.
