Is the story ever evolved?

Is the story ever evolved? - Black and Red Typewriter

Watching The Prisoner for the first time I have seen 3 episodes now.

While I find the setting intriguing, I get the feeling that the situation won't change. That at the end of each episode we will not really have learned more of why he resigned, who runs the village and why, where it is located, etc.

I am curious about these questions if I am to continue watching the series:

  • Will we gradually learn more about the background of nbr 6 and the village?
  • Will the questions be answered at the end of the last episode?
    • If yes, will the questions be answered only in the last episode?


Best Answer

Are the questions answered at the end of the series? Sort of. The last two episodes do provide some answers.

We find out who is No.1. We see a hint at where The Village is, although it contradicts earlier hints in the series.

The ending makes you think about the state of the world. The whole series is meant to make you think.

The power of the allegory and the cinematography make this still arguably the best TV series ever made. You still see homages to its key scenes in modern productions.
