I have to admit, I was acutely attuned to its commentary on society and its impact on the individual... it became one of the clarifying points of my life. I had no trouble following the series, including the conclusion... although there were clearly bits of many episodes, including the conclusion, that were meant to be ambiguous. (Somewhere I have a detailed treatment of it, but damned if I know where it is right now...)
When I watch
Lost, I see many of the elements of the
Prisoner in it (perhaps a discussion for another time, or thread)...
