You're saying you got nothing out of the series? If so, that's a shame.
Plenty of people were upset at the end of
The Prisoner, and for similar reasons as the ending of
Lost: A lack of coherent answers to specific questions (like asking "what side were the Prisoner's keepers really on?"). In short, they couldn't see the forest for the trees... and like
Lost, Patrick McGoohan refused to pull everyone back to see the forest of
The Prisoner, he gave the audience his character resolution and let them figure out the rest for themselves. Anyone who didn't step back and realize "OMG... look at the forest we were standing next to!" was on their own.
I think people will come to see
Lost in the same way as
The Prisoner, and many will condemn (or at least denigrate) the show because it didn't give them what they wanted. But I don't think that takes away from the series' accomplishments, or its resolution.
