    The Prisoner is arguably the grandfather of like 90% of modern television, not just Severance. Phenomenal show

      Imagine a time before tv shows had antiescape spheres. How did writers get by. :)

      And yet, someone decided to down vote my comment.

      I actually wish they’d left a reason, it might have been an interesting discussion.

          That actually got a laugh out loud.

          Take these suggestions.

          “Night’s Master” by Tanith Lee. Back in the time when the Earth was still flat, a demon prince used to ride the skies nightly, looking for humans to seduce and/or torment.

          “Dark Voyage” by Alan Furst. In 1941 a Dutch sea captain is seconded to the British Navy. His freighter and its motley crew are going to transport spies into enemy ports, disguised as a neutral ship.

          Enjoy your afternoon.

          Am curious as a fan of both series, is there a beef between The Prisoner and Twin Peaks? I couldn’t imagine a fan of one not loving the other

            I don’t think it’s beef, so much as the Prisoner is less popular and most people are exposed to Twin Peaks by a friend or podcaster who says ‘This is the show responsible for modern television like x-files, sopranos, and breaking bad’ - which the downvoted comment contradicts.

            I’m just guessing though, making a lot of assumptions
