Dune: Prophecy

"I watched this slow, steady scifi series five stars because of the production quality alone. I always gravitate toward any movie or series that immediately draws the viewer into a mood or ambience to tell a story. That is exactly what this series does. There are only six episodes and what I hope to be the first season of many. Travis Fimmel and Emily Watson Star in this layered and powerfully written prequel series of The Sisterhood or monastic group of mentally powerful women who are the backbone of the Dune story. Each episode feels like a standalone movie full of political subplots, villainy and treachery as we look at the beginning of what grew into the rivalry between House Atreides and House Harkonnen. The first episode starts out slowly and by the middle of episode two, I was hooked and watched the rest of the season in one day. This series has an excellent storyline, group of actors, and an amazing eye for how to use set design and light and shadow as art. I am very impressed. Warning: ⚠️ Adult themes, sexual scenes, female nudity, some blood and violence."

"I think this first season of the series got better as episodes progressed. Overall, an interesting sci-fi series. I look forward to season two. "

"Can’t wait for the next part. Fun fact: frank herbert didn’t like george lucas. People say he thought star wars was a rip off of dune, i think there is a very strong philosophical difference between the two."

"Quite enjoyed this show. It doesn't spoon-feed you information and has almost GoT levels of intrigue and backstabbing but with a smaller cast so some attention is required. Don't do your chores on the side. 😂 The production quality is pretty outstanding for a tv show with unique set and costume designs that do a nice job selling the world. Some scenes earlier in the season are a bit tonally off and feel more like something out of a young adult show but it settles in well over time. 8 out of 10"

"LOVE!"

"This series explores the origins of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, and I loved seeing the intricate politics and power struggles at play. The characters were complex and multi-dimensional, especially the Harkonnen sisters, who were at the center of the story. I initially tuned in because of Travis Fimmel, a huge fan of his work in Vikings…and I wasn't disappointed. He brought a compelling intensity to his character, Desmond Hart, who quickly became one of my favorites in the series. However, I did find the pacing to be a bit of an issue. At times, it felt like the show was dragging its feet, and I found myself getting frustrated with the slow build-up. The last episode was also a bit of a letdown for me… it felt underdeveloped and choppy, and I didn't get the sense of satisfaction that I was hoping for. Despite these issues, I still enjoyed the show, and I'm looking forward to seeing where season 2 takes the story. The world-building was impressive, and I loved seeing the different factions and alliances at play. The cast was also great, with standout performances from the lead actresses. 7/10 "

"If you liked the dune movies you’ll like this. If you like sci-fi political stuff you’ll like this. I think the plot started off a lil chaotic to me but I’m still liking it. It’s got me intrigued to see how this sisterhood became who they are. And if they’re good ppl or not. "

"The plot is engaging with lots of interesting storylines, but the lack of world building and some poor acting performances make it all feel a bit hollow. "

"Slowly but surely captivating if you are already into the Dune. "

"So there’s like there young chicks who get older and have secrets. Then they like find out about secrets that they have about each other. It’s in the future but not as far far future. They are like trying to make the far far future more better. But they realize that it’s more complicated than that and swords and stuff. Really cool take on scifi. I recommend. "
