Dollhouse (2009)
Echo is a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals whose personalities have been wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Confined between missions to a secret facility known as the Dollhouse, the "Actives" are hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected to wholly become—with mind, personality and physiology—whomever the client wants or needs them to be. They know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time—or do they?

What critics compared Dollhouse to
You previously portrayed a multiverse-programmed character in Dollhouse, which shares a few creative parallels to Severance.
This is familiar territory for Lachman, who explored these themes 15 years ago on Dollhouse. While Severance has taken a very different approach to the idea of memory wiping, it sometimes seems like it’s heading to the same endpoint.
It’s bolstered by Lachman (speaking of Dollhouse), who demonstrates the kind of passion and wit that would make someone’s former husband want to forget her for eight hours a day.
