This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J
Story
Two Harkonnen sisters fight against forces that threaten the future of humanity and found a legendary sect that would become known as the Bene Gesserit. Whether exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about. Anderson. A prequel to the original Dune, it tells the story of how the Rossak Sisterhood evolved into the Bene Gesserit.
So here it is
The incident with Valya Harkonnen using the voice is from one called 'Mentats of Dune'. All three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctor. Referenced in AniMat’s cast of Crazy Cartoon: The New Normal (2020). I wanted to be brief and to the point, but I felt the need to expand on my thoughts.
The other characters left me uninterested
There was a time when the writers knew how to weave exposition into the narrative without it feeling forced and contrived. I get that this is the first episode, but do they have to spell it out like they’re not household names? Watson (Valya), Mark Strong (Emperor), Travis Fimmel (Hart), and Sarah-Sofie Boussnina (Princess) all give solid performances. I feel like the show is in good hands.
I guess we’ll see how they develop
They drive the story forward, but they’re forgettable. I had a hard time staying focused on the first episode. It felt like it was part of a whole that couldn’t be divided. I’ll wait a full season before I start consuming more episodes.
They did a great job on the visuals
The CGI is high quality, the costumes are perfect, the tone from Villeneuve’s vision is maintained and expanded. The art department should win awards for how beautiful it looks.
