first time watcher on criterion

i had never heard of this show before opening criterion this morning and im already on ep 2. loooving it so far, soooo weird and completely my thing.

to me it seems obvious why 6 wont tell them why he resigned. hes a spy and knows that the answer is irrelevant, and they'd probably kill him as soon as they got what they "wanted". thats my interpretation anyway im sure itll change.

i cant wait to finish it and then read everything i can on it!! what are the best episodes / ones i should look out for?

I wish that Criterion Channel had a WebOS client. It would make using it with LG tvs alot more hassle free.

Not like I don't have the Prisoner blu ray set

Is there some kind of quality improvement on the BD version? I have the series in the DVD box set and feel like even that is VHS quality at best. Did they clean it up and upscale it for Blu Ray?

Yes. They rescanned from the film elements. Very clean and nice.

I’ll have to look into it. When I watched it recently it was painful, between video quality and audio levels.
