Critics Consensus

Grounded by reliably terrific performances from Emily Watson and Olivia Williams, Dune: Prophecy lacks the spice of Denis Villeneuve's films but compensates with addictively perilous palace intrigue.

Even if you’re a Dune nerd, I bet it will be complicated. Needlessly so, some might say.

Rated: 3/5

The New Republic

On its own terms, Dune: Prophecy is a fine show. It’s filled with excellent performances, dank but compelling production design, and intriguing little twists and turns. But it feels hemmed in by its status as a prequel.

The Hollywood Reporter

No show whose description entails the term “space witches” should ever be this dull.

Pajiba

A generic genre drama with so much nothing happening that it fails to be appreciably Dune in plot or presentation.

The Spectator

While fantasy has never looked more spectacularly realised and life-like, the standards of plotting, dialogue and character have rarely felt so dire.

The Ringer

What we’re left with, then, is a show that reminds you of bigger and better things -- and what Prophecy does bring to the equation isn’t exactly revelatory.

Started out good, but I just can't handle watching Sister Lila. It's not bearable. If they killed her off for someone else maybe it'd be worth season 2 but that's not happening.

I've read the books. I know the story. I watched the series all the way to the end. I had high hopes for it but I almost fell asleep in the last half hour.

Dune: Prophecy - A Solid Start with Room to Grow I loved Dune: Prophecy! Watching it as a semi-binge (over 2 consecutive days) really worked for me—whenever there was a weaker episode, the stronger ones made up for it and kept me hooked. The standout performances were definitely from the Harkonnen mothers and their younger counterparts, who brought so much depth and complexity to their characters. On the other hand, the scenes in the palace, especially those involving Princess Ynez, felt underwhelming both in terms of acting and plot development. It felt like a missed opportunity to flesh out some of the intrigue in that setting. That said, Dune: Prophecy is overall a solid show with a strong foundation for future seasons. It’s clear that Season 2 has a lot of potential, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the story goes next!

Though never on the level of Denis Villenueve's films, Dune Prophecy brings some spectacular production value to further expand the universe of Dune in a mostly intriguing, but sometimes bloated, way.

Duna: á profecia é uma série que não tem pressa em mostrar á sua história, o roteiro é muito bem escrito, ê a direção também, Está primeira temporada foca na origem do universo de Frank Herbert ê ao mesmo tempo construí uma narrativa cheia de suspense na ameaça na qual atormenta os personagens🤓🙌
