I think that's an apt comparison. And, perhaps like The Prisoner, there may not really ben an "answer" that is revealed in the end.

I somewhat worry that the show is all atmosphere, no story. Like, is the writer really winging it at this point? We've certainly seen enough shows where that was the case. Premise with no payoff.

But perhaps I should just give up looking for various threads to be tied up — even stop looking for clear metaphors and just enjoy the ... vibe?
