David D @Viscro 5d If you love the Dune universe (not just the movies) you will almost certainly love this show. I feel like the people who complain about it being boring are the same kind of people complaining about there being no lightsabers in Andor. It's a show about political intrigue and the beginnings of the Bene Gesserit that boasts excellent worldbuilding, stellar performances, as well as a plot that actually respects the viewers' intelligence (in other words: this is no second screen content, you will need to pay attention). I'm very much looking forward to season 2. See more B F. @bfigz14 Jan 22 Boring. Too many characters, hard to care about any of them let alone all of them. Doesn’t really add to the lore or world building of the movies in any significant way. The origins of the “voice” are revealed which was underwhelming. It’s essentially a chore to watch this show. See more Sean L @Sammeuel Jan 18 Visually striking, premise starts well, but I felt the Bene Gesseret were more akin to a bunch of schoolgirls making bad decisions, than a society manipulating the destiny of the known universe.

Fantastic world design. Anirul, the AI machine used by the Sisterhood, looked way cooler than I had ever imagined it, so credit to Territory Studio for that. See more Craig B @Boundsy Jan 14 Dune: Prophecy is a very good addition to the Dune TV universe. There's plenty of political intrigue regularly punctuated with stylish action sequences. A great cast featuring Mark Strong, Emily Watson, Olivia Williams and Travis Fimmel plus a solid supporting cast makes this a very watchable SciFi action drama... and not just for Dune fans. See more Ben S @benhaag Jan 4 It's entertaining enough, and I really enjoy the Dune universe. I just wish this show was as clever as it seems to think it is. The Bene Gesserit scheming at times looks so obvious and plain to see, that it beggars belief the Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe (or any ruler, for that matter) would allow them so close to their power. The same goes for Travis Fimmel's shifty (yet supposedly charismatic?) character, who is played so on the nose that it's hard to believe anyone would feel okay with him being around at all. Thankfully the overall plot is interesting and there are some captivating performances, and I'm looking forward to the next season. See more Read all reviews
