We Are All Prisoners of Groupthink - Patrick McGoohan's 1960s cult curiosity turns out to be a parable for our intolerant times [More]Realize that and never give up trying:
But the thing about Number Six, and what confounds his tormenters, is no matter what they throw at him, he never gives up. Each episode, he defies and rebels and attempts to escape, always seeking creative ways out of his trap, relying on himself, his intellect, his resourcefulness and daring to reclaim his liberty. And each episode he is thwarted, betrayed, recaptured. But he never allows himself to be broken. When one idea fails him, he comes up with another, commits himself to it, and gives it his all. For the sake of his freedom. That strikes me as a pretty fine ideal to strive for.
I could say something about how it ended and what that signified, but I don't want to spoil it for those of you yet to discover the show. I will say I thought the remake sucked.
Never watch remakes...Be seeing you...
