Danger Man: Shinda Shima (1967)
Episode 2, Season 3
Held up until the last season

Being a fan of The Prisoner, it was interesting to watch all of the bits and pieces from Danger Man that were incorporated into the later show. Overall the show was excellent right up to the last season. The final season, IMO, jumped the shark.
Up until that final season the stories were more people centered and played off the real tensions that existed in the Cold War period. As the show progressed, more and more technology was incorporated. However, it remained believable albeit advanced for the period. The final two episodes took a turn toward the more fantastical 007 type supervillains. I think I see why McGoohan chose to leave the show and do the Prisoner. There was nowhere for Danger Man to go as far as story lines.
