Only two days for all the episodes?
Well scorechaser, if we're talking about the original Patrick McGoohan 60s series, my humble opinion is that it is worth watching.
Because it is the best, most mind-bogglingly tremendous thing to have ever been made. Sheer absolute brilliance!

The OP's not reading this, but:
I would say The Prisoner is worth it for the atmosphere, music, set design, and charismatic presence of Patrick McGoohan (Jim Caviezel???? Were they kidding??? Tell me that was a joke!!!) more than anything plot related. I wasn't enchanted with this series like so many others, but anything with Pat McGoohan in it is worth one's while.
Why wouldn't I be reading your post? 
Sorry Philipp, a winking smiley should've been there! 
BTW, a few episodes are absolutely maddening! There's one where McGoohan is bouncing around on a trampoline for about fifteen minutes, one where he "exchanges" bodies with someone and is gone for most of the episode--McGoohan was off making that movie Howard Hughes was obsessed with--and the last episode...well, let's just say it left me screaming at the TV! I could glean no deep meaning from the show but it was always interesting.

Young me sure was ranting way back then. I, of course, have long since come to enjoy those aforementioned episodes.
Rest in peace, Philipp, in whichever afterlife hotel you're staying...
