Dollhouse - Season 1

Years after featuring her on his smash hit BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, cult-television wunderkind Joss Whedon finally finds a starring role worthy of Eliza Dushku with this distinctly styled sci-fi series. DOLLHOUSE derives its provocative title from one of the show’s primary settings: a laboratory-cum-dormitory tucked away in an undisclosed location in Los Angeles. Financed by a mysterious parent company known simply as the Rossum Corporation, the Dollhouse facility houses a group of people whose personalities and memories have been wiped clean so that they may be reversibly imprinted with a composite of several other individuals' characteristics, thus creating a customizable (though necessarily humanly flawed) persona tailor-made to the requests of clients. These "Dolls," or "Actives," may find themselves embroiled in and equipped for a deadly criminal transgression one day and fulfilling the romantic fantasies of a lonely buyer the next. Echo (Dushku) is one such "Doll." At first, it seems she’s just like the rest: fated to regularly lose her memory and any semblance of a consistent personality, at least until her five-year contract with the Dollhouse is up. But is Echo developing an ever-increasing sense of self-awareness? This set includes 12 episodes of the first season of DOLLHOUSE.
