Critic Reviews

Ellen Gray

Dollhouse is less about the ninja kicks and witty banter than it is about instant transformations, and about making the audience care about a character who's likely to behave differently every time we see her. That Dushku mostly pulls this off is a happy surprise, as is Dollhouse, which has survived "Firefly"-like trials of its own to get this far. Read full review

David Zurawik

There is genuine drama in Dollhouse--or, at least, all-engaging narratives of action-adventure. Read full review

Linda Stasi

Good, dirty fun. Read full review

Misha Davenport

The first episode's biggest flaw is that it lacks humor, a hallmark of Whedon's writing. Thankfully, this is rectified in future episodes. Read full review

Tim Goodman

Joss Whedon is one of television's most talented visionaries, but his latest series--the highly anticipated midseason drama Dollhouse--is a major disappointment. Read full review

Verne Gay

The pilot is, in fact, baffling, and needlessly so. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

To the extent this sounds interesting, it isn't: Half the dialogue seems to have been written for barking dogs, the other half for mewling kittens, and the cast performs accordingly. Read full review

It was slow at first, but with every episode, I'm liking it more and more.
