im going to be live "tweeting" (honking? trumpetting? what sound do mammoths make.) my reactions to the first episode of The Prisoner, a 1967 short series, cus i was told it would be up my alley

im teetering between whether or not this music is emotive and well done, or overused and distracting. its very good but seems too exaggerrated sometimes and makes it hard to focus
costume design is on point though
"were all pawns here" wonder if theres any actual chess symbolism or if its not that deep
the dudes friend is alive apparently the death was a trick and hes working with the bad guys
