Dune: Prophecy

I was pleasantly surprised by this show. It started a bit slow however had some amazing dialogue that was GOT level between the two sisters. It also has an amazing aesthetic like the Dune movies. I believe strong dialogue is missing from most sci-fi and it was so refreshing to hear well crafted lines. The next necessity for sci-fi in my opinion is mystery, this is a new world to the viewer so putting together the pieces and amazing reveals are amazing the original world was well crafted which obviously helped. Again I think this could have done with less characters, I feel that many movies and TV shows simply have too many characters and there isn't the time to develop them.

All of my knowledge of Dune comes from the two recent movies, both of which are amazing. With that out of the way, one thing that is missing from the TV show, which both films have, is a good score or at least good use of a good score. I feel like the score or music of the films was used in such a way to emphasize the larger-than-life characterization of the Dune world or universe, so to speak. We are talking about a species that spans the universe in space after all. On the other hand, the score is barely perceptible in the TV show. This does ensure we able to hear the dialogue clearly, but also makes the TV show feel claustrophobic in spite of some of its sets or settings in comparison and therefore out-of-character. Without this, the TV show feels much less epic and engaging than the movies, unfortuantely. I am hoping they will fix this in upcoming seasons.

It's nice to see the other side of Dune Universe. Visually beautiful for a TV Show although we know this is nothing compared to Denis Villeneuve movies. Here we can see the city, the bar, etc that feels cyberpunk-ish and we don't see it in the movies.

The story itself was good and again it's nice to know more about Bene Gesserit. But I don't know why this show potrayed the main character (Bene Gesserit) looks 'evil'. Despite that I enjoyed it still.

What I hate about this show is too short. I mean comeon why only 6 episodes? I hate modern TV shows. They gave us 6 episodes and then we need to wait another 1-2 years to watch the next season. 10 Episodes is the standard unless you make it limited series with no continuation. I understand that maybe this show has big budget knowing the visual was very good.

Another uninteresting about this show is bad casting. Almost all the acolytes was so bland knowing they still had good amount of screen time. I always love Travis Fimmel as Ragnar zlothbrok in Vikings since it's my favorite show but in here he also act like Ragnar the way their bodyand eye moves was very sinilar acting

Overall I love this show since we rarely had scifi cyberpunk-ish tv show.

Dune: Prophecy brings us back to Frank Herbert's universe with a different approach. Instead of grand battles, the series explores the intrigues of the Bene Gesserit and their struggle for control. It's not necessary to have seen the movies to understand it, as it builds its own rhythm and atmosphere.

It stands out for its setting and for Emily Watson's performance, which brings depth and presence to her character. However, at times, the pacing is slow, and it may feel like it lacks intensity. Even so, it manages to create interest through its conflicts and the mystery surrounding the story.

It's not a series for everyone, but for those who enjoy more political and dense science fiction, Dune: Prophecy offers an intriguing premise with great potential.

Dune: Prophecy is everything i hoped it would be and more. It's a great spin-off from a beloved movie franchise. I have to start by saying I've never read the source material or saw the original movie. My experience of Dune is predicated on the two Dune movies that have come out the last few years starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. Those two movies (especially Dune: Part Two) are two of my favorite movies I've seen over the last few years. I absolutely love both of them so I had high expectations for this series. Dune: Prophecy is a series that takes place 10,000 years before the Dune movies start and about how the Harkonnen sisters started the Bene Gesserit as they fight off forces that threaten the future of mankind. The show may feel more like Game of Thrones than Dune but either way...it's very entertaining. The most important thing about this show is it does exactly what it set out to do in the fact that it deepens our understanding of the Bene Gesserit. You don't have to have watched the two Dune movies to enjoy this but you'll definitely enjoy it more if you have.
