No 60s British TV series is more highly regarded than The Prisoner, at least among fans of action/adventure/spy/science fiction series. And no series has ever engendered such fierce debates about its meaning.

A spy resigns, for reasons that he refuses to reveal. He arrives home, is drugged and wakes up in The Village. A perfectly charming place to live, apart from one thing - it is a prison.
