Dollhouse

I recently finished watching a series called “Dollhouse”.

Quick summary

Dollhouse is an organisation (business) that alters personalities and memories of human beings for the desires and needs of the client. These could range from sexual fantasies, crimes or good deeds. Those altered humans are called “Dolls” or “Actives”. At the start of each assignment (tends to be called “engagements”), the actives are imprinted with the memories and personalities suited for the engagement. While not on an engagement they are imprinted with a blank/empty state (no memories or personalities) and live in a life size dollhouse. Each active is assigned a “handler” who they will always trust. The handler’s job is to ensure that their active arrive at the correct destination and return safely back to the dollhouse after each engagement. They are also responsible for removing the active from their engagement if they are at risk.

The series is about an active called “Echo” who starts to remember things from her engagements and also during her blank state. Some others are also showing signs of recognition and memories from their blank state.

I watched this all in two days. I also watched the unaired 13th episode “Epitaph One” which is the future of the memory/personality imprint technology (basically what will happen if it all goes out of hand). Pretty scary stuff.
