Unlike the original, the remake tells us what that purpose is, but given the big buildup, the answer is surprisingly pat and riddled with circular logic. This Prisoner is visually stunning and risk-taking but not a satisfying rethinking. Maybe what TV really needs is not reimagination but just more imagination...

Did you know there's an amber teething necklace that the baby doesn't actually put in his mouth but that works by releasing soothing warmth? And would you believe that it's easy to find...
