A prequel to the original Dune, telling the story of how Rossak’s sisterhood evolved into the Bene Gesserit
Two Harkonnen sisters battle forces that threaten the future of humanity and form the legendary sect known as the Bene Gesserit.

I guess we’ll see how it goes
Watson (Valya), Mark Strong (Emperor), Travis Fimmel (Hart), and Sarah-Sophie Busnina (Princess) give solid performances. I feel like the show is in good hands. The rest of the cast didn’t interest me. They carry the story along, but they’re forgettable.
They did a great job with the visuals
I had a hard time focusing on the first episode. It felt like one whole piece that couldn’t be separated. I’ll wait until the full season before doing any more episodes. The CGI is quality, the costumes are perfect, the tone of Villeneuve’s vision is maintained, expanded upon.
