Martinez. Justin (TTh) Dollhouse 50
Dollhouse is an American science fiction series that explores identity and personhood. The show revolves around an organization called "The Dollhouse," a place that erases the memories and personalities of those who volunteer themselves and turns them into "actives." These actives are then given personas corresponding to the needs of the organization's wealthy and powerful clients. These needs include things such as heists, expert counseling, sexual gratification, and other things. Echo, the series protagonist, is an active that stands out through her ability to remember snippets of her past as well as being the personas that were once imprinted over her mind. This difference is what spurs her own development as she struggles to find her own authentic sense of identity.
