Home Sweet Home

The Prisoner is a new mini series that aired in AMC in 3 days (6 episodes) in raw. Started Sunday Nov 15th - 17th. The series is starred by American actor James Caviezel stars in the role of Number 6/Michael, with Ian McKellen taking on the role of Number 2/Mr Curtis in all six episodes. Other cast members include Ruth Wilson as 313, Lennie James as 147, Jamie Campbell Bower as 11-12, 2's estranged son, and Hayley Atwell as 415/Lucy.

This story is about Michael who suddenly wake up and he was in big dessert where is called "The Village". Uniquely, in this village, they didnt use name, but numbers instead. Well, i dont wanna tell about the story, coz u guys can search it in google. or here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prisoner_(2009_miniseries).

I just wanna comment about the series. At first episode, this show looks so interesting. Alot of parts that make me curious. Like, how he could go in there, why the others have no memories at all, and how the village is formed, and how suddenly he become #6. That was a very good start, and it's supported by the rating (2.6 million on the first 2 eps). But after the 3rd episode onward, honestly, i yawned 3 times, and it's till 7.30 PM. It's boring'er than Harry Potter 6. I dont know, i tried to keep my eyes open, but i cant. I dont know why, but seems like the storylines weaker and weaker. I dont what would happen if i watch it at 1 AM or 2 AM in the morning. That's why i saved series like "Castle, Ugly Betty, White Collar, Private Practice, Supernatural and Desperate Housewives" to watch at the end of my day (or the start of my day - it's already morning) coz those series never make me sleepy but can give me good night sleep after that.

Not to mention the ending, i'm kinda dissappointed. And also the editing of the story kinda confusing. Too many flashback and flashforward which are confusing the audiences. And the FB and FF's situation not really clear, that's why it's confusing. Eventho i was helped by the subtitles (english) to make my understanding better, but still.. so confusing. Even Harry Potter without subtitles better for me (you know, i hate British English, i even cant catch what they were saying). And again, the audiences agreed with me. The rating for 2nd and final day are below 1 million. What a shame. 50% decreased.

Anyway, overall for this miniseries i'll rate 2.5/5 stars.

Good acting and characters, but lack in storyline which is so boring.
