Critics' reviews

"While it's haunting, cerebral and gorgeous, it's also a little cold, though the flashes of humor help. Like its actives, it's a marvelous piece of engineering. But I hope it develops a personality of its own"

James Poniewozik: Time
"Given the artfully vague hints of an intriguingly desperate past for Echo, as well as Whedon's track record, we ought to cut the show some slack. Let's see if Whedon can bring this doll to greater life"

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"The result is a show that his most devoted fans will debate and embrace, and a mass audience just won't get. Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"Joss Whedon is one of television's most talented visionaries, but his latest series--the highly anticipated midseason drama 'Dollhouse'--is a major disappointment"

Tim Goodman: San Francisco Chronicle
"'Dollhouse' has an amusing premise, but the universe it inhabits in the early episodes is thin and bland"

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
"Overcrowded with plotlines, high-tech gimmicks and ambition yet empty of emotional connection and purpose, 'Dollhouse' tries so hard to be so many things it winds up being nothing much at all"

Mary McNamara: Los Angeles Times
