Corrupting My Kids
Some years ago, I received a complete DVD set of what is arguably the best show ever put on Television, The Prisoner.
It is certainly the most innovative drama yet to grace the small screen. (I'm not sure whether the works of Ernie Kovacs are more innovative, hence the "drama" modifier)
I have decided that it's time for me to introduce my children to the work.
They've already seen the first episode, and in re-watching it, it appears to be even more timely than when I saw it first in the late 1970s.
Somehow the concerns about privacy and surveillance seem particularly apropos now.
