My main objection to the show it show is that it's kind of dumb. :^p
It's also awkward because even if Dollhouse Inc is wildly evil, we're clearly supposed to sympathize with Echo and Boyd, and want good things to happen to them, which often means seeing them accomplish the objectives of Dollhouse Inc.
(And one of the dumb things is that at some level, the best outcome for Caroline is that she spend her five years as Echo successfully and safely, and come out the other side without the problems that she was originally trying to run away from when she signed up with Dollhouse Inc. Despite what Ballard thinks, they aren't actually kidnapping unwilling people off the street, right?)
