A prequel to the original Dune, it chronicles how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using her voice is from a series called the «Mentats of Dune.» All three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors. I knew it couldn’t match the quality of the movies, but I didn’t expect it to be this…
No depth, conversations are a bit corny at times
mediocre. For a second I thought it was an Amazon production, not HBO. Bad casting choices for some roles; not that the actors are bad, but they just aren’t right for the role.
No real special effects, it feels a bit low budget
Too much going on in the first episode and it jumps from scene to scene as if they were rushing. Also, some scenes make me wonder why they even bothered filming them. I’m not sure what camera they used, but the shots seem too simple.
