While barely a blip on the ratings screen at the time, Joss Whedon's short-lived television series Dollhouse (FOX 2009-2010) has cast a surprisingly long shadow since. When you look at today's television landscape, recent series Westworld (HBO), Altered Carbon (Netflix), and Homecoming (Amazon) among others, all seem to pick up and explore Dollhouse's themes, aesthetics, dense narrative style, and even borrow the occasional cast member for a guest spot. We'll explore the specifics of those influences and propose other examples, discussing why these themes and style of storytelling seem to have found their moment now, a decade on.
