8 TV Scenes Everyone Always Gets Wrong
6. Number 6's Escape - The Prisoner
The Prisoner is a show that's very easy to get wrong, since its particular type of insanity is the kind that LOOKS like they're making things up as they go along. Audiences were, understandably, expecting the ending of the show to answer at least one question they'd been asking since the whole mess began: what the actual Christ on a cronut is going on????
Well they didn't get that, because, something that audiences missed while asking that question is that they're the only ones who give a damn about getting answers.
Number 6, our protagonist, would just like to not be a prisoner in this madcap nightmare of a town anymore. Some answers would be nice, which is why we do occasionally see him looking for some. But one can imagine that after 17 episodes of getting d**ked around, Number 6 would really stop caring. So, in the last episode, he finally manages to escape Number 1 and their cavalcade of mind games and manipulations, driving off into the sunset.
The show was never interested in giving answers, so why should the audience?
