Fans of modern television love a complicated character. The recent rise of cable network programming has offered a plethora of options in antihero television, and it seems most new dramas offer their own version of a Walter White, Don Draper or Tony Soprano. The new law of the TV landscape appears to be "The more moral concessions made, the better". While none of Dollhouse's characters ever devolve into antihero status, outside of Echo they never reach true hero status, either. Each week, the show presents a myriad of ethical dilemmas for its' protagonists to navigate, and each character comes away compromised in some manner. In fact, the true antihero of the show may be science itself, as the show asks a multitude of questions with no easy answers. Such as, should science stop asking can we do it and start asking should we do it.
