OF course, it owes a bit to The Prisoner (McGoohan) & no. of films (Cast away, Fearless among other time travel, adventure, ghost films), but it just takes off to something else. Sights and sounds that not just TV, but films, hadn't put with enough details to stand toe to toe with best of literature. In scope and ambition, there are very few peers. Wouldn't think twice to put it alongside The Prisoner, Star Trek, Batman Animated series. Even if rest of this season and next (6th) goes all wrong.
