RedBard 71 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Never got a chance to really watch it as a kid, and now, thanks to Netflix, I can watch it re-watch it again.Without a doubt one of THE most ambitious sitcoms ever produced (and certainly one of the most expensive per-minute of production).

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Was that show Dollhouse any good. I like the way Faith is looking at me on the cover at the shop.I could only last about 6 episodes, which is right where it starts to get good, according to Jay.

Jay 37,249 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Was that show Dollhouse any good. I like the way Faith is looking at me on the cover at the shop.Yes, its a FANTASTIC show! Unfortunately it gets off to a REALLY slow start - it frankly takes until episode SIX to become the show it ultimately is. So if you can slog through those initial 5 episodes, you're in for a real treat!When making season 2 they basically knew it would be their last, so the storyline moves at a quicker pace, just getting awesomer and awesomer.NOTE: DO NOT WATCH the "unaired pilot" that is on one of hte dvd/blu rays until after you've seen the first season. They reworked things a lot after filming that, and watching it would ruin things that don't end up getting revealed until later in the show.What exactly is Dollhouse?The show is set in a world where a corporation is able to imprint personalities into "dolls" (people who have volunteered to be in the project) with different personalities that they send out for various tasks (usually sex, I guess). Elisa Dushku is one of the dolls, who begins to "remember" in between imprints.is part of the Whedon-verse?The show is not connected to any of his other works at all, apart from reusing a lot of actors.

A24 4,323 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Maybe Whedon will get a second chance now that his name is synonymous with gold. Of course, the Serenity crew is a bit older now ... I could only last 6 episodes. Too much sarcasm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 After blitzing the first few episodes (possibly the entire first season) of Community I found it to suddenly drop-off quality wise and we're yet to return to it.

KK 3,307 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yes. I wasn't sure if Alex would approve, but it seems so.It isn't the best television show out there, but if it ain't darn good TV, I don't know what is. The casting is ace, the tone is perfect and the music is great. Not sure what they'll do with season 2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
