The New Prisoner Mini Series

[lwhite53]

Finally got around to watching the last two eps. First two are forgetable -- the last one is worth watching and you won't be lost even if you don't bother with the others (which doesn't say much for the series!).

The story line with 2's son is pretty good and the acting by McKellen and the guy who plays the taxi driver stands out. Rest of the acting is mediocre. And the ending is seriously cheesy!

As bertowud said, there is little resemblance to the original, which always had a sense of subtle menace. No edge-of-the-seat moments here.
