Dollhouse

I finally got around to watching the first episode of Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse last night via Hulu. In fact it was a Hulu commercial on during House that reminded me of the fact I needed to watch it.

If you have not seen it the basic premise, as far as I understand it, is that there's a group of young women called "Dolls" who have had their personalities wiped for the purposes of being able to be implanted with various other personalities. These Dolls are hired out to do various jobs with support from their ever changing abilities and personalities. After they're done, they get wiped back into a clean state and await the next job. All of this is, of course, highly illegal. The show focuses on one of these Dolls, named Echo.

The first episode was…intriguing. There's a lot of potential for good stuff happening and there's enough mystery where they can really uncover some interesting plot twists along the way. I haven't watched the second episode yet, but people have mentioned that it's even better than the first one is.

However, this show being on FOX, who has an itchy trigger finger when it comes to show cancelation has me worried. Especially since it's Joss Whedon show…but the ratings seem decent. I just hope they let the show grow a bit before they think about canning it (RIP Firefly…RIP…)
