A prequel to the original Dune, it tells how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using voice is from one called 'Mentats of Dune'. All three books interweave the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators and the Suk Doctors..
So here it goes
I wanted to be brief and to the point, but felt compelled to expand my thoughts. There was a time when writers knew how to weave exposition into narrative without it feeling forced and contrived. I get that it's a first episode, but do they have to spell everything out like they aren't common knowledge.Watson(Valya), Mark Strong(Emperor), Travis Fimmel(Hart) and Sarah-Sofie Boussnina(Princess) deliver good performances.
They move the story but are forgettable
I feel like the show is in good hands. The rest of the characters left me uninterested. I guess we'll see how it evolves.I found it hard to stay focused on the first episode.
The art dept should get awards for how beautiful it looks
It seemed to be part of a whole that can't be divided. I will wait for the full season before consuming more episodes.They did a marvelous job on the visuals. The CGI is high quality, the costumes are perfect, the tone from Villeneuve's vision is maintained and expanded from.
