    The Dollhouse.

    A bunch of hyper-sexualized women held in coffins against their will in a state of childlike innocence. Intermittently, they have personalities downloaded into them, using computer technology, making them Alpha-powered super-assassins.

    When one of them gets too woke, she is suppressed, coerced, and gaslit into buying back into the fascist agenda of the faceless corporation running the Dollhouse.

      As someone who’s never seen this, this sounds like a good premise for something horribly dystopian. Unless the series isn’t about how terrible this is…

        Yes, they wind it down.

        spoiler

        Most of the world is destroyed and they iced Helo (Tahmoh Penikett) for no good reason but shock.

        And the good guys pull off a very Pyrrhic victory. Closing the Dollhouse before they figured out how to make scenario: techno-nightmare happen would have made the series shorter. But, I’m pretty sick of the “we can’t put the tech genie back in the bottle” defense. Under this ideal, every tech needs to grow to Godzilla size or fade into obsolescence.
