McGoohan’s paranoid television shows ruled the ’60s and still lords it over our list of continually relevant cult-TV classics.

As police chief of The Gates, is he there to keep the peace, and protect the privacy of the community’s horde of vampires, werewolves and other assorted killers? Or is he there to enforce the law — including possibly prosecuting their previous murders? And just how much should Nick allow himself to buy into the idea that all of the creatures in The Gates have been completely civilized and domesticated, giving up their former predatory habits?
