Dollhouse (Seasons 1–2)

Dollhouse (2009) is a sci-fi drama created by Joss Whedon that you can watch online on iFILM. Echo lives inside a secret facility where her mind is wiped clean between assignments and refilled with a new personality — skills, memories, accent, beliefs — tailored exactly to what a wealthy client needs.

She is not pretending to be someone else. She actually is that person, for the duration of the engagement. Then the slate is cleared. Eliza Dushku plays Echo across dozens of identities, with the series gradually revealing that some residue is surviving the wipes. The facility's director, played by Olivia Williams, runs the operation with cold precision. Fran Kranz plays the technician who begins to ask questions no one at the Dollhouse wants answered.

Canceled by Fox after two seasons, the show built a devoted following around its central question: what makes a person real if every memory can be overwritten? Stream Dollhouse online on iFILM.
