Dollhouse is a science-fiction TV series that aired on FOX from 2009 to 2010. The show was created by Joss Whedon, who is known for his work on popular series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly. The series revolves around the concept of the "Dollhouse," a special facility that houses individuals known as "Actives."

These Actives are individuals who have had their memories and personalities wiped clean so that they can be programmed with any skill or persona that is required for a given assignment. These assignments can range from espionage and heists to sexual encounters and companionship. The Dollhouse is run by a mysterious organization, and the series is largely about the struggles of the Actives and the people who work with them.

The main character of the series is Echo, played by Eliza Dushku. Echo is an Active who is particularly skilled and able to adapt to a variety of situations. She is introduced as a new recruit to the Dollhouse and becomes a key player in many of the assignments that are given out. Harry Lennix plays Boyd Langton, a former police detective who becomes Echo's handler and mentor. Fran Kranz plays Topher Brink, the programmer who creates the personalities that the Actives are given.

Other notable cast members include Tahmoh Penikett as Paul Ballard, an FBI agent who becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about the Dollhouse; Enver Gjokaj as Victor, another Active who is particularly skilled at impersonations; Dichen Lachman as Sierra, another Active who becomes involved with Victor; and Olivia Williams as Adelle DeWitt, the head of the Dollhouse.

The series has a complex and thought-provoking story, with themes of identity, morality, and power dynamics. The Actives are essentially slaves, but they are also willing participants in their own erasure and programming. The series explores the ethical implications of this kind of technology, and the questions it raises about free will and individuality.

The series also has a strong focus on character development, with each episode adding new layers to the main characters and their relationships with each other. There are several standout episodes that explore different aspects of the world and the characters, such as "Man on the Street," which shows the public's reaction to the Dollhouse after it is exposed, and "Epitaph One," which takes place in a dystopian future where the technology of the Dollhouse has wreaked havoc on society.

Overall, Dollhouse is a fascinating and engaging series that combines elements of action, drama, and science fiction. With a talented cast and a complex story, it is a must-watch for fans of the genre and anyone interested in exploring the ethical implications of technology.

Dollhouse is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (26 episodes). The series first aired on February 13, 2009.
