Présentée initialement comme un thriller, du même moule que la série précédente avec Patrick McGoohan, Destination Danger (Danger Man en Angleterre, Secret Agent en Amérique du Nord), Le Prisonnier utilise les ficelles du roman d'espionnage, teintées de science-fiction, d'allégorie et de drame psychologique.
La combinaison des thèmes de la contre-culture des sixties, et sa mise en scène surréaliste, ont fait du Prisonnier une série profondément influente sur la production des programmes de science-fiction, de fantastique, et sur la culture populaire en général.

Cette réflexion, élaborée à partir de la série créée par Patrick McGoohan, montre que
cette fiction est une allégorie aux multiples interprétations. Nous avons établi plusieurs exemples de ces interprétations à travers des analyses filmiques, suivies de réflexions d'ordre philosophique, artistique ou politique. Plus particulièrement la catégorie de « politique-fiction ».
Ces interprétations se diffusent à travers la forme - ou les formes - du Prisonnier, caractéristique rare dans le monde des séries et qui est le reflet d'une époque exceptionnelle: la fin des années soixante.
