A prequel to the original Dune, it tells how the Rossak Sisterhood evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using the voice is from one called ‘Mentats of Dune’ The three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors. I knew it couldn’t be the same quality as the movies, but I didn’t expect it to be so…
There is no depth, the conversations are sometimes quite cheesy
mediocre. For a second I thought it was an Amazon production, not HBO. For some roles the right actors were not chosen; not because the actors are bad, but because they are not right for the role.
Also, in some scenes I wonder why they bothered to do them
There is too much going on in the first episode and they jump from one scene to the next as if they were in a rush. There are no real special effects, it looks a bit low budget. I’m not sure what camera they used, but the shots look too simple.
