Default Dollhouse - Renewed for 2nd Season!

The new Joss Whedon /Tim Minear shows starring Eliza Dushku.
Quote:
In Dollhouse, Eliza Dushku plays a young woman called Echo, a member of a group of people known as "Actives" or "Dolls." The Dolls have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They're then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds. On missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers. In between tasks, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic dormitory/laboratory, a hidden facility nicknamed "The Dollhouse". The story follows Echo, who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware.

I watched the premiere last night.

I thought it was a bit spotty (apparently episode 2 was re-worked to make it the premier - holy Firefly flashback), but with enough potential that I will watch it again.
