it’s all about
Story
Two Harkonnen sisters battle the forces that threaten the future of humanity and found the legendary sect that would become known as the Bene Gesserit.. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about. This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
It’s a pretty good production
A prequel to the original Dune, it tells how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using the voice is from one called “Mentats of Dune”. All three books interweave the development of the Sisterhood, Mentats, Navigators, and Suk Doctors.. Referenced in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: The New Normal (2020).
He brings an intensity that is hard to match
The effects work, the story works well enough and it’s engaging. I’m in love with it for sure if there’s one thing that bothers me it’s Travis Fimmel I have to say I absolutely love him. As good as this is, it is extremely one-dimensional. I saw the movie Warcraft and Raised by Wolves.
They did an excellent job there
He’s basically always Ragnar Lothbrok, and he’s extremely distracting. I really hope his character is killed off as soon as possible because it’s the only thing that subjectively has a negative impact on this TV series. The actors playing the younger versions of Valya and Tula are extremely well cast. This is on a “dark”; level and should be praised.
This review is based on the first 4 episodes
Definitely worth watching, especially if you haven’t seen any recent shows with Travis Fimmel in them.
