Early Buzz: ‘Dollhouse’ Reviewed
Lucky Time columnist James Poniewozik has seen the revamped pilot of the Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku series Dollhouse, and he gives the premiere episode a fairly optimistic review.
Says the television writer of the screener he watched: “[T]he first episode … is well enough written to be absorbing. Writing a crime hour doesn’t seem like Whedon’s thing, but the episode is tight, suspenseful, with intriguing psychological twists and flashes of Whedonesque humor.”
Of course, that positive comes with a potential negative, namely that “Dollhouse as conceived (a heroine plays a different “person” every week) is less a series concept than an actress’ showcase, a sort of extreme version of an Alias undercover premise.… And the actress being showcased is Eliza Dushku.”
Read the original post over at Time’s Tuned In blog to learn what Poniewozik meant by that last bit (it’s not all bad). Personally, my dread regarding the show’s awful time slot and previous conceptual problems is slightly alleviated by the upbeat assessment, so I hope the good vibes keep coming in other critics’ reviews.
