Dollhouse

2009–2010 · 2 seasons

A cerebral, unsettling ride that makes you question identity and free will while keeping you hooked with moral dilemmas and twists.

Tagline: She can be anyone, except herself.
Overview: Echo is a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals whose personalities have been wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Confined between missions to a secret facility known as the Dollhouse, the "Actives" are hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected to wholly become—with mind, personality and physiology—whomever the client wants or needs them to be. They know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time—or do they?
How it feels: Dark, tense, melancholic and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, morality, power, corruption
Content: Strong violence and sexual content. Mild gore and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
