New Dollhouse

Since I was a wee thing I have never been fond of dolls - but that is all set to change, because I have just discovered the Dollhouse. Of course, it's no ordinary Dollhouse. It's a new science fiction offering by Joss Whedon of Buffy and Firefly (aka Serenity) fame. The seven-episode series launches in January in the US - which means it will be a little while longer before it makes it to Australia - drat! I think I will come to like Echo, Victor, Sierra, November.
Full synopsis from the imdb site follows:
The show follows an organization that employs mind-wiped DNA-altered humans known as Dolls who are implanted with false memories and skills for various missions and tasks. When they are not 'at work' they are living in a real life Dollhouse which gives the show the name. One of those mind-wiped humans, a young woman named Echo, is slowly starting to become aware of herself and what's going on - all the while somebody on the outside is trying to bring the Dollhouse down while getting closer to Echo - possibly not aware that she is one of the Dolls he is after.
