The Prisoner (1967)
Poster for The Prisoner
silly premise but actually very seriously handled. maybe one of the best episodes. the way we see an attempt at control through a simulated reality was very unique and we see how our attempts at simulation and replication bleed into the real world and influence it. the government attempt to control a situation by creating controlled problems but not knowing what to do when those problems get out of control. trying to promise power/ control to the working class with the same system that took away their power to begin with.
