Dollhouse (2009–2010)
10/10
Phenomenal but with a few dud episodes
6 February 2013
This show is simply amazing. I'm not an acting expert, so I can't comment on whether they performed it well, I can only say that I was convinced. The plot was fantastic; a brilliant concept that was really well explored in places that we didn't expect, in ways that we didn't expect. Joss and his merry band of writers really knew what they were doing. There were a few episodes that I thought didn't really work, especially ones nearer the end of Season 1 and the start of Season 2 where it felt the plot was rushed, (and I expect this was simply because Joss was scared that Fox'd go all Firefly on him and stop at the first season, so he had to rush it) but they managed to 'stable it out,' and get back on track toward an amazing ending that had me in tears. The characters were all amazing, I can't think of one that I didn't like for some reason or another, and they all had more than the one standard "He's the funny one," "She's the cold one," personas (in fact, regarding Echo and the concept, I'm sure there's some kind of deep analysis you could do about how she parallels everybody else. But that's the English A-level in me talking.) And it totally get's you thinking! It explores what it really means to be human, and what it really means to be you, who you are, who you want to be, capitalism, personality flaws, immortality, all that stuff! Watch this show; if you can't connect with at least one of the characters or fail to be amazed at all the plot happenings, then I'm surprised if you can enjoy any show.
