Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 Episode 4.

Apple TV’s The Last Thing He Told Me is only halfway through Season 2, but already, the latest installment has drastically changed the game. Season 2, Episode 4, “Ghosts,” places Hannah (Jennifer Garner), Bailey (Angourie Rice), and Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in an even more difficult situation than before after the death of a character who has been around since the beginning. Grady Bradford (Augusto Aguilera), the U.S. Marshal who has consistently been on their side, turns up dead, seemingly of an overdose, but Owen believes there is more to the story. This dramatic twist propels The Last Thing He Told Me into the back half of Season 2 with more questions than ever before.

Though the loss of Bailey’s mother was a catalyst for everything that has happened, it occurred years before the story begins, making Grady the first significant death in the series. The twist presents a new challenge, as well, forcing the Michaels family to question whom they can trust. The loss of Grady is a major blow to The Last Thing He Told Me, but on top of that, the evidence he and Owen collected is gone, meaning any hope the family had for a safe reunion has been ripped away alongside their only ally.

Grady’s Death in ‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Season 2 Is Shocking for Several Reasons

Grady has been a vital character since the beginning of the series, when he appears at Hannah’s door with an offer of protection, but in Season 2, he has even more going on. While working with Owen to uncover the Campanos’ latest scheme, Grady has also come under suspicion from Hannah. After an argument with Grady in Episode 2, she runs away from him, and just two episodes later, the Marshal is missing. Hannah’s investigation at Grady’s office reveals that he was supposed to be on leave, with his investigation kept a secret from even his boss, Maris Anderson (Michael Hyatt). With so much going on with the character, it seems natural for him to be the center of some twist, but then Owen finds Grady dead.

The Last Thing He Told Me is a tense show, often boasting dangerous scenarios, but it rarely commits to killing off a character. Grady’s death is rare territory for the series, and the fact that so much of the story is missing enhances the shock of Owen’s discovery. Yet, despite his death, Grady’s story is far from over. While he appears to have overdosed, no one who knew him believes it, implying that it is an attempt to cover up his murder. As Owen and Grady’s coworkers seek to answer the questions of who may have wanted Grady dead and why, this tragic death leads to a new mystery, which has now become even more personal for the characters.

Grady’s Death Is a Turning Point in ‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Season 2

Grady may not appear in every episode, but his death alters the show. Not only does it remind the audience of the seriousness of the situation, but it also provides an emotional twist. Grady’s death marks the loss of an important ally for Owen, Hannah, and Bailey. There are very few people that the Michaels family knows they can trust, and after helping Owen disappear all those years ago, Grady became one of them. Throughout Season 1, he was in their corner, fighting for the Marshals’ office to protect Hannah and Bailey even though they weren’t obligated to. Beyond the emotional implications, Grady’s death leaves the Michaels in a bad spot, placing them at the mercy of Maris Anderson and the Marshals’ office, which has clearly been compromised. It’s a difficult situation that will only make the show more tense going forward.

In addition to the loss of Grady from the show, his death jeopardizes any progress he and Owen have been making. Season 2 picks up after a time jump; while Owen has been unable to reunite with his family, he and Grady were gathering evidence to take the Campanos down for good. When Owen finds Grady’s storage unit cleaned out, presumably by whoever killed him, he realizes all of their work has been destroyed — and with it, Owen’s dream of returning home safely. Grady’s death will definitely impact the remainder of The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2, not just because it represents a tragic personal loss for the Michaels but because it raises the stakes even further.

If you’ve been around the Western space for any amount of time, then you have absolutely heard high praise for Lonesome Dove. The powerful four-part CBS miniseries featured Tommy Lee Jones as Captain Woodrow F. Call and the late Robert Duvall as Augustus “Gus” McCrae, two roles that would not only define their respective careers, but would be unmatched in the genre. There’s a reason it’s so beloved as a classic, with many simply considering it a six-and-a-half-hour film rather than a miniseries. In fact, Lonesome Dove was so immensely popular that CBS boldly tried its hand at continuing the saga beyond Larry McMurtry‘s original epic novel with the four-part 1993 follow-up Return to Lonesome Dove. Despite the notable cast changes, it manages to carry on the story in style.

‘Return to Lonesome Dove’ Was a Controversial but Effective Western

After Lonesome Dove proved a ratings success in a post-Western age where most networks had killed any long-form series that resembled a horse opera, CBS jumped at the opportunity to continue the epic saga. At the time, McMurtry had yet to write any sequels or prequels to the original novel, and so the network had no source material to go on. Deciding to focus more heavily on his feature film career and pivot away from television, Tommy Lee Jones declined reprising his role as Captain Call (likewise, Anjelica Huston failed to return as Clara Forsythe Allen). For some networks, that would have been the end of it. Just as Robert Duvall perfectly embodied everything about the complicated Gus McCrae from McMurtry’s novel, so too did Jones solidify Call in our imaginations. He simply was the perfect cast. But CBS was determined, and in that determination cast Jon Voight as Captain Call (and Barbara Hershey as Clara Allen).

This Brutal 2-Part Episode Marked the End of an Era for an Iconic Western Series

After 20 seasons, the Western simply ran out of ideas.

As a fan of the original miniseries, Voight only wanted to sign on for the sequel if it was a story he believed was worth telling. “We know that there’s a job left for Woodrow to do,” the actor told The Roanoke Times in defense of his decision. “And indeed, we want him to fulfill those last wishes of Gus.” That wish? Finally acknowledging young Newt Dobbs (Ricky Schroder) as his son, something that Call continues to struggle with in this installment. And yet, it’s that tension between the captain and his long-time cowboy that is part of what makes Return to Lonesome Dove work despite the inevitable comparisons to the original. Return picks up exactly where Lonesome Dove left off, pushing Call to take responsibility for his kin and admit his failures to himself. It may take the entire sixish-hour ordeal to get him there, but as with the original tale, it’s the journey and not the destination that brings it all together.

In the end, the on-screen changes weren’t the only differences made between the two miniseries’. Mike Robe replaced Simon Wincer as director and John Wilder took over writing duties from William D. Wittliff as well, which may explain the slight dip in narrative quality. At the time, critics took quite harshly to Return to Lonesome Dove, comparing it unfavorably to the mastery of the original without acknowledging its own distinct contributions to the saga. Some of the criticisms are more than fair, of course. Entertainment Weekly went so far as to deem the venture “pointless,” though later admitted that it’s still a “perfectly decent Western.” Perhaps it’s the lack of McMurtry source material to pull from or the general absence of Gus McCrae that dampers the spirits — though old Gus certainly still haunts this adventure — but Return to Lonesome Dove certainly isn’t near the quality of the original Western show. What it is, however, is a complex, intimate, and all-around-engaging “what if” that uses the familiar characters and landscape as a stage for which to tell a powerful drama about father and son, love and loss, revenge, and the complications that come with legacy, both building and receiving it.

‘Return to Lonesome Dove’ Even Sparked Another Western Sequel

There are plenty of bright spots in Return to Lonesome Dove that make the drama worth revisiting as a standalone tale. Newt’s journey from a worried right hand to becoming a man in his own right is a powerful one. Especially as he wrestles with the walking temptation that is 17-year-old Reese Witherspoon‘s Mrs. Ferris Dunnigan, the young wife of his new wealthy Montana benefactor (played by the magnificently cruel Oliver Reed). Likewise, newcomer Gideon Walker (played by Young Guns II star William Petersen) is another highlight, as he smooth-talks his way into the good graces of Clara Allen just as she suffers an unimaginable loss. Although returning stars Tim Scott and Chris Cooper have considerably less to do this time around as “Pea Eye” Parker and July Johnson, they are joined by capable newcomers who help carry the weight.

Return to Lonesome Dove did well enough to spark a sequel of its own, Lonesome Dove: The Series, which followed young Newt Call (now Scott Bairstow) as he returns to the title Texas town to make a new name for himself. The Western series ran two seasons on CBS, completing the network’s non-canonical saga. However, that wasn’t the end for Call and McCare. The same year Return to Lonesome Dove premiered, McMurtry published his official sequel to the original series titled Streets of Laredo. Two years later, it too was adapted into a miniseries, featuring a brand-new cast.

Christina Haack had a dreamy date night with her boyfriend, Christopher LaRocca, at HGTV’s Bachelor Mansion Makeover event.

“Chris is always very supportive,” Haack, 42, exclusively told Us Weekly on the Thursday, March 12, red carpet. “He’s just a nice, easy man to be around, and I love having him here.”

Us confirmed in January 2025 that Haack started dating LaRocca, 53, after her split from ex-husband Joshua Hall. Haack and Hall, 44, separated in July 2024 and settled their divorce in May 2025.

As her romance with LaRocca heated up, Haack contemplated whether she would tie the knot again. (Haack was married to Tarek El Moussa from 2006 to 2016 and Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2020. She shares two children with El Moussa, 44, and son Hudson with Anstead, 46.)

Photo by Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic One week after going Instagram official with Christopher LaRocca, Christina Haack is introducing her new beau to an old beau. According to People, Haack, 41, and the CEO, 52, were photographed at Nobu in Newport Beach, California, with her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, on […]

“I’ll always love love,” the HGTV star previously told Us in a January 2025 cover story. “I probably will [get married again] eventually. But, not anytime soon.”

According to Haack, she would need to “be engaged for a minimum of, like, five years” before ever getting married again. Haack still isn’t thinking about putting a ring on it any time soon.

“Marriage is just not on my radar right now,” she stressed to Us on Thursday.

As Haack and LaRocca enjoy their relationship as is, the design maven has been busier than ever. In addition to filming season 2 of HGTV’s The Flip Off with Tarek and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, she also lent her expertise to Bachelor Mansion Takeover.

On Bachelor Mansion Takeover, a group of franchise fan-favorites reunited at the Bachelor Mansion to renovate it and compete for a cash prize. Haack served as a judge on the Monday, March 9, episode.

When it comes to renovating houses, Christina Haack, one of Us Weekly’s Reality Stars of the Year honorees, knows things can get very unpredictable. The same can be said for the ambitious HGTV star’s personal life as she experienced a year of change in the public eye. When The Flip Off premiered in January, viewers […]

“I didn’t know what to expect,” she told Us on Thursday of her guest-judging experience. “Pulling up, I noticed the house needed a little bit of TLC on the outside, and then going to the inside, I found I was getting to do the Rose Room, which is definitely the most iconic room, so I was super excited.”

Haack and the fellow judges, Tayshia Adams and Tyler Cameron, were enlisted to share feedback on the finished product with the participants.

“The contestants had very limited time, limited budget, so I definitely feel for them, having been on the other side,” she said. “I’s a lot of pressure, but I think overall, they all did a great job. I think I [tried] to be a very fair judge, having been on the other side and having an understanding of, like, what they’re working with and how low the budgets are, I was trying not to be too critical.”

Bachelor Mansion Takeover airs on HGTV Mondays at 8 p.m. ET and is available to stream the next day on HBO Max.

Sarah Tena, a 32-year-old former adult performer, says it felt “disrespectful” when Timothée Chalamet started dating Kylie Jenner.

Tena claims she and the actor had been in a non-exclusive relationship for several years before his high-profile romance with the reality TV star became public.

According to Sarah Tena, their connection began after she discovered Timothée Chalamet in “The King” on Netflix and messaged him on Instagram.

Sarah Tena Claims Timothée Chalamet’s Kylie Jenner Relationship Felt ‘Disrespectful’

When reports first surfaced that Chalamet was romantically involved with reality TV mogul Kylie Jenner, the internet reacted with disbelief.

Many fans struggled to reconcile the idea of the indie film star dating a member of the famous Kardashian-Jenner empire. Some online even speculated that Kris Jenner had orchestrated the relationship.

But one woman says the news “blindsided” her, and she believes the situation was handled in a “disrespectful” way.

Sarah Tena, an ex-adult star, claims she had been quietly involved with Chalamet for several years before his relationship with Jenner became public.

“I see these things about him dating Kylie Jenner, and I was very confused about that,” Tena told the Daily Mail in an interview. “At first, I thought it was fake news, and then I was like, maybe it’s a PR thing. But now it looks like maybe they are together. I don’t know… It doesn’t add up.”

According to Tena, their connection began in January 2020 after she watched the actor in “The King” on Netflix. Curious about the actor she had never seen before, she searched for him on Instagram and eventually sent him a message from her professional account, “Azul Hermosa.”

Her first attempts at getting his attention went unanswered. Months later, she tried again, responding to another story with a drooling emoji, and this time he allegedly acknowledged it by liking the message.

Sarah Tena Claims The Actor Serenaded Her with Bob Dylan Songs On Their First Night Together

Not long after catching the actor’s attention, Tena says Chalamet reached out directly on May 16. The two began messaging, eventually exchanged phone numbers, and arranged to meet when he learned she was visiting Los Angeles.

She claims their first meeting took place during the early months of the pandemic at a beachfront property in Santa Monica, where the actor had been staying after leaving New York. Despite feeling nervous at first, Tena said the pair quickly connected.

She recalled that the evening was spent drinking wine, talking about films, and listening to Chalamet play songs by Bob Dylan on guitar while preparing for his role in the upcoming biopic “A Complete Unknown.”

“I went over there, and he had all these scripts up for the Bob Dylan role, and I was like ‘what is this,’ and he’s like ‘it’s for Bob Dylan, I’m going to play him,’ and I was like ‘that’s so cool,’” Tena recalled. “He played me a few songs, and he was so great. He had been practising maybe for a month, he told me.”

Tena described their chemistry as immediate, saying the actor made the first move and that she stayed the night. They met again about a month later when she returned to Los Angeles for work with the production company Vixen.

Over time, she said their relationship developed into a mix of romance and friendship.

“With Timothée we just clicked,” Tena said. “We were both attracted to each other. It also turned into a friendship.”

“He is a gentleman,” she continued. “From the Timothée I know, he’s genuine. He’s funny… The friendship kept us going so long… Our personalities are similar.”

Sarah Tena Says She ‘Fell In Love’ With Timothée Chalamet Before Their Sudden Silence

According to Tena, she and Chalamet fell into a pattern of seeing each other every couple of months.

She said he showed interest in her personal life, frequently asking about her daughter and even mentioning the possibility of visiting her hometown of Portland, Oregon.

The Instagram model says she eventually fell “in love” with the actor. While she never directly told him she loved him, she claims they both acknowledged having deep emotional feelings for each other.

Their final in-person meeting, after several years of occasional meetups between 2020 and 2023, took place in New York City. During that visit, she gave him a bracelet similar to one she wore herself.

However, Tena says she didn’t realize it would be the last time they would see each other face-to-face. Their final contact came on January 5, 2023, when Tena sent Chalamet a belated birthday message on Instagram. He responded by liking the message, and according to her, they never spoke again after that.

Sarah Tena Admits She Felt ‘Sad’ After The Actor Stopped Speaking To Her And Began Dating Kylie Jenner

Just weeks later, reports began linking Chalamet romantically with Jenner. The pair were later spotted together during Paris Fashion Week at a show for Jean Paul Gaultier, and by April, rumors intensified after TMZ published photos showing Jenner’s Range Rover outside the actor’s Beverly Hills home.

Reflecting on the situation, Tena admitted the end of their connection left her feeling emotional.

“I did get down and a little sad about the whole thing,” she said. “It was like, ‘wow, I might not ever see him again,’ and when I had always felt so sure about him and I and it turned  opposite of that.”

She added that what surprised her most was how abruptly their communication ended. “I never thought of him, and I would stop talking because we had that friendship also,” she said. “He’s changed.”

Timothée Chalamet And Kylie Jenner’s Romance Is Getting Stronger

Chalamet and Jenner turned heads in late 2025 when they appeared in matching orange leather looks at the premiere of the actor’s movie, “Marty Supreme.”

Things then intensified at the Critics Choice Awards, when Chalamet acknowledged their relationship while accepting his award for Best Actor at the event.

“Lastly, I would like to thank my partner of three years,” the actor said, adding, “Thank you for our foundation.”

Reports also claim that Chalamet has won over Jenner’s loved ones, especially her kids, whom the reality TV star shares with her ex-partner, Travis Scott.

Television has been shaped by the horror genre. Much like its involvement in cinema over the years, horror has broadened the landscape for television, influencing and building it into the modern powerhouse that many of us see today. Since the inception of broadcasting, horror has been a staple — exciting, terrifying, and captivating viewers with fascinating tales of terror. From The Twilight Zone to Stranger Things, there’s no telling what modern television would be like without this epic genre.

Truly, we’ve been spoiled by how many compelling horror shows are out there. A great many have blasted us away and have become widely acclaimed and remembered throughout the decades. But, it’s sad to say, not every perfect horror show is remembered. There’s a vast ocean of horror shows, and plenty have been swept under the rug. From neat horror gems to underrated classics, let’s shed light on nine forgotten horror shows that are a straight 10/10.

‘Channel Zero’ (2016–2018)

Image via Shudder

Premiering on the SyFy network from 2016 to 2018, Channel Zero is an underrated American horror anthology series featuring three spine-chilling self-contained seasons of pure, utter terror. With stories blending different subgenres, including supernatural mystery, dark fantasy, body horror, and even slasher, this series is a horror lover’s delight that just excites and thrills viewers with its creativity.

Channel Zero is an unsettling, nightmare-inducing horror series that rightfully needs to be experienced. Though positively received by critics, the show never quite reached the heights of mainstream recognition during its three-year run, nor did its lack of significant viewership help it either. It truly needed more time to grow and garner more recognition. Yet, despite never truly kicking off, it’s become a cult favorite among horror and anthology horror fans, and its popularity is steadily on the rise.

‘The Hitchhiker’ (1983–1991)

Image via HBO

Running on HBO and the USA network from 1983 to 1991, The Hitchhiker is a mystery horror anthology series about a lone drifter (Page Fletcher) telling his disturbing cautionary tales as he crosses the country. It ran for six seasons, delivering pulse-pounding and shocking short stories each with a central message and a completely different cast of characters for each new episode.

Though not widely accepted as one of the greatest shows of the ’80s, The Hitchhiker is a cult favorite among TV and horror fans. Though not every storyline worked, its strongest episodes highlighted a creative, visionary writing team who were adamant on creating new and original ideas each week. It’s a near-perfect anthology show that honestly deserves more love.

‘Circle of Fear’ (1972–1973)

Image via NBC

Ghost Story, later changed to Circle of Fear mid-season, was an American horror anthology series that aired on NBC from 1972 to 1973. Produced by pioneering B-movie director William Castle, this delightfully spooky series may be the most obscure entry on this list, but it’s one that’s highly recommendable as it’s so one-of-a-kind, creative, and undoubtedly creepy at times.

It only ran for one season, but during that time, it produced 23 fascinating episodes that each had their own stand-out moments. Sure, the effects are cheesy, and some of the writing and acting get over the top at times, but for all of its absurdity, Circle of Fear is quite an interesting horror gem that offers a fun, eerie viewing experience and really puts viewers in the right kind of horror mood as long as they look past its faults.

‘Lost Tapes’ (2008–2010)

Image via Animal Planet

One of the darkest shows to ever air on the Animal Planet Network, Lost Tapes is a fictional documentary horror series detailing the history of some of the most iconic cryptids from folklore and legends. Shot mostly as found footage style segments, each episode explores different characters having nightmarish, sometimes deadly encounters with monsters, from vampires and werewolves, to extra-terrestrials and even Bigfoot.

Lost Tapes‘ episodes range in quality; some are horrifyingly intense and perfectly suspenseful, but others are noticeably cheesy and bogged down by hammy acting and cheap effects. While it’s not always perfect, the good moments far outweigh the bad, and it excels at delivering some tense, disturbing videos that are not for the faint of heart. It’s definitely for found footage lovers, as the handheld camera work can easily make viewers feel like they are watching The Blair Witch Project or REC.

‘Night Visions’ (2001–2002)

Image via FOX

Night Visions is another criminally underappreciated horror anthology series, which aired on the Fox network with only one season from 2001 to 2002. For those seeking creeping dread and psychological supernatural paranoia, this show is right for you, as it’s a perfectly eerie collection of short but effective horror stories that easily get under the skin.

Poor management from the Fox channel and low performance scores doomed Night Visions to only having one season to show the world. And it’s a shame, as it’s another horror series that truly needed more time to kick off and become more relevant. Though not as well-known today as other projects, Night Visions is just as well-written and eerily fascinating as some of the other high-profile shows.

‘Friday the 13th: The Series’ (1987–1991)

Image via Paramount Television

Running three seasons from 1987 to 1991, Friday the 13th: The Series is a unique, hidden horror gem TV show that can fascinate anyone who gives it a chance. Despite its famous title and the fact that it was co-created by Frank Mancuso Jr. (the producer of the Friday the 13th movie franchise), this show surprisingly has no connection to the film series of the same name, nor its famous slasher villain character Jason Vorhees. Instead, it’s an original premise about two friends who go around retrieving dangerous, cursed items that they must return to their newly inherited antique store.

This series was full of darkly creative fun, featuring new and fresh storylines each episode, and kept that momentum riding strong until it was cut too soon due to cost issues and poor ratings. Today, it’s of course become seen as a cult classic, one that both delights and creeps audiences out with its many compelling and eerie episodes.

‘Masters of Horror’ (2005–2007)

Image via Showtime

Created by Mike Garris and airing on Showtime from 2005 to 2007, Masters of Horror is another brilliant yet strangely forgotten horror anthology series that, as its title suggests, highlights the incredible works of some of the best horror filmmakers in the industry. It’s a frightening collection of intense, bizarre, and freakishly unusual horror stories directed by legendary horror directors like John Carpenter, Joe Dante, the late Tobe Hooper, and Takashi Miike, to name a few.

Nearly each episode is perfectly well-structured and paced, and also shows the strengths of each talented filmmaker, as well as featuring their own unique directing style. While so many episodes truly shine, it’s arguably Takashi Miike’s directed episode, “Imprint,” that’s the biggest standout for its graphic content and surreal visuals, a noteworthy, masterful episode that was actually too extreme for US broadcast. Overall, it’s a shame Master of Horror doesn’t get brought up as much as other, more recognizable shows. However, its shocking moments and the many creative talents behind its creation really make it more of a must-watch for horror enthusiasts.

‘Millennium’ (1996–1999)

Image via FOX

Sadly, one of the most forgotten shows of the 1990s was also one of its most captivating and original. Airing on Fox from 1996 to 1999, Millennium is a science fiction thriller series created by Chris Carter. It stars Aliens and Near Dark star Lance Hendriksen in a remarkable leading performance as a former FBI profiler turned consultant, Frank Black, who taps into the minds of serial killers.

Chris Carter, best known for creating the more well-known and praised sci-fi horror series The X-Files, delivered another powerfully creative blend of the two genres with this highly underrated series. It aired for three seasons, being canceled just before really making a huge impact like Carter’s other series. It’s a shame, but thankfully, Millennium has slowly but steadily garnered more of a following in recent years. And hopefully, over time, it will garner the well-deserved respect it needs.

‘The Outer Limits’ (1963–1965)

There’s no other horror series more recognized as an underappreciated masterpiece than the ’60s classic TV show The Outer Limits. Widely overshadowed at the time by its equally groundbreaking and visionary competition, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits is just as essential to TV history for its massive influence and compelling storytelling.

Also, like The Twilight Zone, this one focused on complex stories that were heavily thematic and focused on sci-fi elements and human psychology. The two shows are almost common, yet The Outer Limits seems almost like a footnote in history these days, while the other is praised as one of the greatest sci-fi shows of all time. Both deserve equal recognition, not just for what they did to the horror, anthology, and science-fiction genres, but for television in general.

It all comes down to the silhouette. The plunging neckline sits lower than your standard bra, for a more natural fit you won’t have to readjust. Its underband is also lined with silky soft microfiber that won’t irritate your skin. In fact, the entire bra is made from this microfiber. The fabric feels so silky and soothing, you might even forget you’re wearing a bra.

The cups and padding also make a major impact. They naturally increase the look of your bust by one size, and the lower cut ensures that your chest doesn’t reach your neck. Instead of a surgical effect, the enhancement looks realistic.

I, for one, feel confident when my bras are pretty, too. Even in the basic black hue, I’d want to show this off just like Dewan. The versatile style can be kept under wraps or can become a key part of your outfit. The styling options are endless!

Joss Whedon is widely known for his teenage horror series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its subsequent spin-offs, before he pivoted to superhero content, including joining the prolific cinematic universe at Marvel Studios. In between these two distinct eras of his popular filmography is a show that not only marks the transition but is vastly overlooked. Dollhouse was the last pure sci-fi TV show he created, following the likes of Firefly and Serenity, before he committed to spandex and capes. However, the two-season series is severely overshadowed by the rest of his oeuvre and deserves some recognition for its ambitious ideas.

Dollhouse follows the titular immoral and illegal organization that erases and imprints new personalities on people who can be hired out for a variety of purposes. As expected, some high-paying clients simply pay for kinky sex, but others have more niche uses for this versatile “product,” like negotiating kidnappings or robbing a bank. They call these ready-made people “Actives,” and we follow Echo (Eliza Dushku), a woman who has a blank-slate personality when she is not out on an “engagement.” However, as the series unfolds, something in Echo’s mind gradually shifts, and soon she is on a journey of rediscovering her past and her true identity.

‘Dollhouse’ Makes You Question Your Morals in This Ambitious Sci-Fi

While the organization essentially functions as a futuristic human trafficking ring, Dollhouse is ambitious in how it approaches its premise, covering every single perspective of the issue. At the forefront is Echo’s journey in the thick of the company, a victim-turned-heroine who is easy to root for. Similarly, there is another storyline involving a detective (Tahmoh Penikett) who is trying to take down this elusive organization everyone seems to think is make-believe. But we also experience the story from the perspectives of Echo’s handler (Henry Lennix), the scientist who erases and imprints memories (Fran Kranz), a mysterious doctor (Amy Acker), and the uncanny head of the organization (Olivia Williams). Through these points of views, our own morals are continuously challenged, as there are times we are at the cusp of validating their ideologies.

Every week, Dollhouse pushes the limits on how this technology can be used. Each episode delivers a new, inventive idea that is admittedly exciting to watch, even as you recognize the implications of a lack of bodily and psychological autonomy. Its immediate engaging nature almost makes the viewer feel culpable for the crimes being committed. Eventually, the show delves into the more sinister connotations of the industry, throwing us on uneven footing as our morals are reflected back at us. But the series moves beyond physical slavery and also raises intriguing concerns about the attack on identity, both of the Actives and the memories they inhabit. It’s a twisty and ambitious show that was ahead of its time.

Eliza Dushku Shows Off Her Range in ‘Dollhouse’

The ensemble cast makes Dollhouse fascinating, but it is Dushku who bears the brunt of the emotional narrative. While the characters played by Williams and Kranz rise to the challenge of humanizing their villainous roles, Dushku performs in a wide range while maintaining a central thread for us to invest in. As she flits from one personality to another, we learn to appreciate the actor’s versatility, but it is during her expressionless, robotic version of Echo where the overarching story resides. The show relies on almost imperceptible undercurrents of emotion beneath Echo’s guileless face to convey her development. When Dushku achieves this, it makes for quietly intense scenes in contrast to the superficial sci-fi grandiosity of the show. She anchors us amid the sci-fi torrent and propels us through the moral and psychological ramifications of the corporation’s work.

Though it would be one of the last times Whedon created a sci-fi show, Dollhouse is certainly one to remember, even if it didn’t gain as much traction as it deserves. It pushes the boundaries of how TV can represent and dissect one’s identity while delivering an entertaining procedural-like format that almost tricks us into siding with a criminal organization. With versatile ideas and performances, if you don’t enjoy an episode of Dollhouse, fear not, the next one will transform into something new and hopefully cater to your sci-fi preferences.
