Joss Whedon – twórca seriali "Buffy: postrach wampirów" i "Anioł ciemności" przedstawia prowokacyjny "Dollhouse" – seksowny i trzymający w napięciu thriller, w którym występuje znakomita i niezwykle utalentowana Eliza Dushku. Tajemnicza Echo (Dushku) jest agentką Dollhouse – nielegalnej, podziemnej organizacji, która zapewnia swojej elitarnej klienteli programowalne ludzkie istoty. Aktywni agenci mają wgrywaną tożsamość, co pozwala im tymczasowo stać się kimkolwiek – doskonałym włamywaczem, kochanką, szpiegiem lub mordercą. Echo ma na karku FBI, które ściga ją za jej mroczną przeszłość. Jednak nie to jest jej największym problemem. Musi bowiem stawić czoła zbuntowanemu aktywnemu agentowi, który za wszelką cenę stara się doprowadzić do upadku organizacji – na zawsze.
It’s fair to suggest that there are television series that have sprung out of the blocks with more confidence and momentum than Joss Whedon’s
Dollhouse. The latest show from the creator of
Buffy The Vampire Slayer and
Firefly centres on Eliza Dushku as Echo, a woman who has different personalities transplanted into her depending on the mission she’s been hired for. It’s a tremendous premise, and one laced with just the kind of threads that Whedon has shown real skill at exploiting. But the first half of the season is a muddle. It takes some time for the show to settle down and find its feet, and the first couple of episodes in particular are more disappointing than anything else.
But then Dollhouse suddenly finds its feet. And while it doesn’t iron out all of the creases, once the show slips into gear, it finally begins to realise some of the immense potential here. What’s interesting too is that this first season DVD set includes the terrific missing episode that was never broadcast when the show debuted in the US.
A second season of Dollhouse is incoming, and given how soundly all concerned recover their footing with season one, that’s something to genuinely look forward to. This maiden season? It has its problems, but when it finally hits top gear, it rewards both your financial and time investment. --Jon Foster
