The story follows Echo (Eliza Dushku), a "doll" or "Active" for the Los Angeles "Dollhouse", i of several facilities, called "Houses", run by a company which hires out human beings to wealthy clients. These "engagements" range from romantic interludes to high-risk criminal enterprises. Each Active has their original memories wiped and exists in a childlike blank state until programmed via the insertion of new memories and personalities for each mission. Actives such as Echo are ostensibly volunteers who take surrendered their minds and bodies to the organization for five-yr stints, during which their original personalities are saved on hard drives, in exchange for vast amounts of money and solutions to whatever other problematic circumstances in their lives.^{Due east-1} Echo is unique, however, in that she remembers small amounts even afterward personality "wipes", and gradually develops an increasingly cognizant self-awareness and personality that's resistant to erasure. This concept allows the series to examine the notions of identity and personhood.^Eastward-12

Inside The House, opinions on such matters are divided. Dollhouse director Adelle DeWitt (Olivia Williams) sees her role equally merely giving people what they need; programmer Topher Brink (Fran Kranz) is initially entirely scientific and amoral, autonomously from brief flashes of moral quandary; while Echo'south mentor in The Firm or "handler", Boyd Langton (Harry Lennix), an ex-cop with an unknown past, expresses business with the ethical and theological implications of the Dollhouse's technology, using his inside role every bit an opportunity to limit any collateral impairment. Raising intriguing questions about personality and selfhood are other dolls Victor (Enver Gjokaj) and Sierra (Dichen Lachman), who despite being continually re-wiped, brainstorm to fall in honey and retain those feelings whether wiped or imprinted with other personalities.^E-8

Meanwhile, FBI amanuensis Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) learns of Repeat's original personality, Caroline Farrell, through messages, photographs, and videos he receives anonymously. Agent Ballard becomes obsessed with rumors of the Dollhouse and risks his career trying to evidence its being. It is insinuated that Ballard has developed feelings for Echo prior even to meeting her, which leads him to continue his investigation even subsequently being taken off the case. Meanwhile, Ballard has been casually dating his neighbor, Mellie (Phenomenon Laurie). While discussing the investigation over takeout, Mellie corrects Ballard when he refers to bringing "her" in, to say "them" in instead. Ballard tries to explain his sideslip away, simply Mellie does not look completely convinced. Mellie'due south character upward to this indicate on the show is portrayed every bit a somewhat insecure neighbor with a crush on Ballard. At the terminate of this episode information technology is revealed that Mellie is a "sleeper" doll. She has been planted by the Dollhouse to spy on Ballard. Mellie is unaware of her function in the Dollhouse and believes herself to be a young woman falling in dearest with an FBI agent. She is in fact a Doll known as Nov.^E-6

Ballard finally chases downwards a lead allowing him to "meet" Caroline/Echo. During the run across, Echo is terrified of Ballard considering she believes she is the personality she has been programmed with. Repeat is whisked away by her handler, leaving Ballard with just Joel Mynor, the human who paid for the see, to question. Mynor points out the apparent connection that Ballard feels for Echo and cites it as the reason that Ballard is so driven to investigate the Dollhouse.^{East-half-dozen}

As Repeat continues to evolve and learns to work across the limits of each temporary personality imprint or default "tabula rasa" programming, she runs the risk of beingness sent to "the Cranium", a permanent resting place for "broken" dolls and Dollhouse employees who cause problems. She is an object of fascination for the escaped doll, Alpha (Alan Tudyk), a genius and serial killer who has been driven mad by existence implanted with the memories of dozens of people, becoming a gestalt-personality. Alpha, the flavour one "Big Bad", returns at the stop of the first flavour to kidnap Caroline.^{Due east-11 , Due east-12}

"Epitaph 1", the final episode of season one, which was not aired every bit part of the show's original run on US television, depicts a post-apocalyptic futurity where the mind-wiping technology of the Dollhouse has adult to the extent that vast numbers of people can be remotely wiped and accept new personalities implanted, which has brought about the end of civilization. Many of the serial' chief characters' futures are shown.^E-13 As the 2d season begins, the show'south focus shifts to depict the dangers of abusing the listen-wiping technology. Each character in the L.A. Dollhouse is forced to face their own moral complicity in an increasingly downward spiral from moral grey areas to the realization that what the Dollhouse is doing is ultimately immoral and extremely unsafe. The Dollhouse's corporate sponsor is a medical research entity known as the Rossum Corporation, whose ultimate goal is revealed to be gaining control over national governments and even innocent people with no association with the Dollhouse. Through these abilities, the leaders of Rossum can rule the globe and also be immortal, jumping from torso to body at volition. Attempting to cease the further spread of the mind-wiping engineering science, the L.A. Dollhouse vows to have downwards Rossum and its mysterious founder, whom only Echo'south original personality, Caroline, has met.^E-25 They also acquire that there is no person named "Rossum"—the company founder took the name from the play R.U.R., which is short for "Rossum'due south Universal Robots". This 1921 science fiction play past Karel Čapek is the origin of the give-and-take "robot".^[5]

The final episode of the series is fix in the year 2020, and takes place shortly after the events that took place in "Epitaph I". Despite its best efforts, the L.A. Dollhouse has been unsuccessful in stopping the heed-wiping technology from spreading out of control.

A now mentally unstable Topher, builder of much of the technology, devises a mode of restoring everyone'due south original personalities and eliminating Rossum's power, but at great sacrifice to himself and others. The series concludes with the world's personalities restored, while the Globe all the same lies in ruins, and those with Active compages sheltering inside the Dollhouse for ane year in order to proceed the memories they have acquired since their original personalities were restored some years ago, rather than being wiped and defaulting dorsum to their memories from before the Dollhouse got concur of them.^E-26

Dollhouse was produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Whedon's Mutant Enemy Productions,^[ten] and Dushku'southward Boston Diva Productions, and was granted an initial thirteen-episode production commitment by Fox, with a reported license fee in the range of $i.five to ii one thousand thousand per episode.^{[11] [12]} Fox decided to forego the usual practice of ordering a pilot episode of the series, opting to instead put funds towards the construction of the elaborate set and cultural context of the television series. The set was described as a "life-size Dollhouse".^[13] On July 22, 2008, Joss Whedon announced that the first episode shot, "Echo", would be pushed to be the second, saying that this "idea to exercise a new start episode wasn't the network's. It was mine".^[fourteen] Despite several reshoots, "Echo" was afterwards pulled from the run entirely;^[15] the staff of the show has since noted, during a console on the series at the Paley Festival, a television festival held at the Paley Center for Media in New York City, that portions of the episode were used in subsequent episodes throughout the series' first flavor.^[16]

Originally, Whedon announced he was planning to shoot a separate webisode for every Dollhouse episode produced.^[20] The webisodes did not materialize, yet. At that place was originally a five-year plan for the show, with Whedon plotting how its characters would evolve through that point.^[21]

Producer Tim Minear explained that the "missing" 13th episode (titled "Epitaph 1") would be on the DVD release of the flavour. The reason Minear gave for that episode being dropped from the broadcast run was that the Play tricks network was counting the original starting time episode ("Echo"), which went unaired, every bit part of the original 13-episode order; in dissimilarity, the Fox product company was required past contract to accept a minimum of thirteen completed episodes for international and DVD releases.^[28] According to both Minear and Whedon, the producers felt that the original first episode, having been subsequently scrapped entirely and having had its footage reused for other episodes throughout the season, should not be counted equally a completed episode as function of their own xiii-episode orders for international and DVD distribution but rather as a DVD actress, and thus Whedon produced a new 13th episode on a lower budget to fulfill the contractual requirements for the international broadcasts. The episode was screened at Comic-Con on July 24, 2009.^[29]

Other visual changes included more hand-held camera work and the addition of snap zooms (an effect that moves in or pulls dorsum very apace, which was used extensively in Firefly).^[36] The series continued in its nine–10 pm Friday timeslot, with the season premiere on September 25, 2009.^[37] Season 2 of Dollhouse began filming on July 22, 2009, so Trick pushed back Dollhouse's render to the 25th to afford Whedon and the Dollhouse production team sufficient time to produce plenty hours to kick off the flavor with at least iii or four consecutive episodes.^[38]

Critical response [edit]

Season ane of Dollhouse had mixed reviews, with Metacritic giving it a rating of 57 out of a possible 100.^[62] On Rotten Tomatoes, the first flavour has an approval rating of 62% based on 53 reviews with an boilerplate score of 6.34/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Joss Whedon's provocative procedural poses troubling questions virtually autonomy and consciousness, merely repeatedly hitting the reset button on Eliza Dushku's grapheme makes Dollhouse feel dispiritingly empty."^[63]

Ellen Gray of the Philadelphia Daily News gave a positive review, remarking that "Dollhouse is less almost the ninja kicks and witty banter than it is nigh instant transformations, and about making the audition care about a character who'due south likely to acquit differently every time we meet her. That Dushku mostly pulls this off is a happy surprise, as is Dollhouse, which has survived Firefly-similar trials of its own to get this far."^[64] Salon reviewer Heather Havrilesky was besides positive, commenting that the show's combination of mystery, sly dialogue, and steady period of action results in a "provocative, bubbly new drama that looks every bit promising as anything to hit the pocket-size screen over the course of the by year."^[65]

Alternately, Tom Shales of The Washington Postal service wrote that the premise was "absolutely intriguing", only described the series as a "pretentious and risible jumble" and that Repeat did non "inspire much concern or interest in the audition". He commented that the actors seemed to struggle due to the decor existence so "outlandish", stating that it "but isn't worth the trouble".^[66] Brian Lowry of Variety too wrote "Dushku'due south grasp of this vague, personality-irresolute character is a bit of a muddle. What's left, then, is a series with a hollow center that doesn't initially brand you care about its mentally malleable protagonist."^[67] Robert Bianco of United states of america Today had a more than nonchalant view of the series, describing Dollhouse every bit not boring or ordinary, and that the end result is a prove "that Joss Whedon's nearly devoted fans will argue and embrace, and a mass audience merely won't get".^[68]

Many critics felt that the series' outset flavour improved every bit it progressed. IGN Reviewer Eric Goldman believed the show became much stronger and more compelling with the episodes "Needs" and "A Spy in the House of Honey". He opined of the later episodes that, "As a whole this show is definitely working better as we get away from Echo'due south missions of the week, and from focusing then much on just Repeat and letting there be more of a true ensemble feel, with the time split amongst the Dolls."^[69] Sarah Hughes of The Independent was unimpressed with the first v episodes just also found that the later episodes became "every bit involving and addictive as Whedon's best work".^[seventy] Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune liked Dollhouse 's "unsettling" tone and institute the prove to be "unexpectedly moving and complex" during the 2d one-half of the first season. She called the second season renewal "a practiced day for unconventional tv".^[71]

The second season received a more than positive reception. On Rotten Tomatoes, the second flavor has an approving rating of 81% based on 21 reviews with an boilerplate score of 7.vi/10.
