i would like to have an engagement please

Just finished watching Season 1 of the Dollhouse and it was awesome. Sure, they cleaned the ending up fairly well, in true Joss Whedon fashion, but it ended with a bang. I watched a lot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer back in the day, and although Dollhouse definitely has more suspense, gore and mature material, its got the basic Joss Whedon signs. And as always the fantastic Eliza Dushku is in the awesome show.

The premise of the show is there is a secret, underground high-end prostitution house that uses people with no memories called dolls. They are imprinted with whatever personality or character the client wishes and is then sent on engagements. It goes all awry as FBI, police and rogue dolls attempt to rock the boat. It is CRAZY. And it helps that you've got, like I said, Elizha Dushku. I love that Amy Acker is in this show too, although since she's kind of carved up, you can't really enjoy her natural grace and beauty. Nontheless, its an intersting premise that has kept me glued to my seat.

I think a lot of people will love the show for the story and suspense. I thought it might be fun to see what Whedon had cooked up and I was definitely not disappointed. I just hoope it doesn't go downt he road of Heroes, a show that I loved for one season but suddenly decided was getting a bit off-track.
