I like the way each crowd contains sinister-looking undertaker types, as well as the more brightly dressed citizens.

Yes it makes it very disturbing at times. Like with the use of "twins"

Yes, I wondered why we needed quite so many undertakers.

Some of the acting reminds me of Piri...

Nos that's disturbing. How does our hero get his head out of this?

It's worrying to think how much of this did come out of McGoohan's twisted little mind.

Is it not very much of its era, reflecting anxieties about the Cold War, totalitarianism, drug-induced alternate realities, etc?

You can imagine the beginning of the idea...a place where dissatisfied spies are taken to see if they are double agents...but yes, where does this madness stem from?

They have to keep having new #2's because #6 out-foxes them every week. Can't imagine they'd let a failed #2 carry on.

I've gone for 8, because while it was stylistic, it didn't make much sense in places.

it's all great fun, even the slow-motion fighting, and it still makes zero sense.
