Do you miss “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer“? How about “La Femme Nikita? Did you just love Sydney from “Alias” as the mystery kept spinning out like a never-ending ball of yarn? Add into that mix the feel of real-life “Barbie” dolls and you get what Joss Whedon, the creator of groundbreaking cult favorites “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and “Firefly,” has done with “Dollhouse” which stars Eliza Dushku (“Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” “Tru Calling”) .
Dushku stars as Echo, just one member working for an illegal underground organization that implants employees with false memories and skills in order to perform various missions and dangerous tasks. These “dolls” can become anything that anyone desires; a lover, a fighter, an assassin, even a best friend. Once their assignment is complete, their memories are wiped clean and they are released back into the “Dollhouse” to cohabitate with their fellow colleagues under the watchful eye of those in charge. However Echo is slowly starting to become aware of herself and her surroundings… and one outsider will stop at nothing to bring the entire “Dollhouse” down.
“Dollhouse” Season One includes intense and stunning supporting performances from:
Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Rushmore),
Harry Lennix (State of Play, Across The Universe),
Amy Acker (“Angel”),
Tahmoh Penikett (“Battlestar Galactica”).
