Dune: Prophecy

An excellent show that met with a lot of unfortunate knee-jerk reactions because it landed at a time when everyone is fed up with “strong female lead” trope. However, Dune: Prophecy is not it. The sisterhood is correctly portrayed as the power behind the throne in this universe. The scheming and plotting, the drama, it's all classical in nature. Acting, production, design, all top-notch. This is season one. I hope it continues to be as strong all the way to the end.

Honesty really beautifully crafted and performed. It’s taut, intriguing and pitches itself nicely to reflect the ethos of both Herbert’s and Villeneuve work. It’s really high quality TV.

An excellent series that captures the themes and spirit of the world of Dune very well. Well produced, written, directed and acted all around. Looking forward to seeing more!

It’s a very handsomely mounted production by TV standards, with sets / effects / cinematography etc instantly putting it in the upper tier of TV series in that department. It’s also a ponderous, talky, exposition-mired bore that had me checking the clock (aka the microwave I can see from my couch) like four times in one hour and fighting the urge to grab my phone or fiddle with something.

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... - Full Review

Game of thrones with terrible acting. Why are these beautifully produced hbo shows always have such terrible writing

An expectedly good series, it captures the intrigue and world-building you'd expect from the setting and leaves a fair share of questions and potential for more season is it is allowed to continue its run.

Not what I expected but definitely very good! Leaving the amazing production aside, the script, intrigues, time jumps.. Everything was so we’ll crafted, felt like reading one of the books. A great show.

Visually, it stands up well to the Dune movies. Story wise, not as much. The characters aren't as interesting as those in the movies, and the story feels like it's moving slowly. There are moments here and there that stand out, and I keep watching because of the production quality, but the show is a bit underwhelming most of the time.

Mundillo interesante, buenas actrices (casi todo mujeres). Fundamentalmente trama política con muy poquita acción. Apetecible para una segunda temporada.
