This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J
Chronology
Two Harkonnen sisters battle forces that threaten the future of humanity and found the legendary sect that will 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. Anderson. A prequel to the original Dune, it chronicles how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit.
It’s a pretty good production
The incident with Valya Harkonnen using the voice is from one called «Mentats of Dune.» All three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors. Referenced in Crazy Cartoon Cast: The New Normal (2020) by AniMat. The effects work, the story works well enough, and it’s engaging. I’m hooked, that’s for sure.
He brings an intensity that is hard to match
However, if there is one thing that annoys me, it is Travis Fimmel. First of all, I have to say that I love him. As good as he is, he is extremely one dimensional. We saw him in the Warcraft movie and raised by wolves.
They did an excellent job there
He is basically still Ragnar Lothbrok and it is extremely distracting. I really hope his character is killed off as soon as possible because that is the only thing that subjectively has a negative impact on this TV series. I have to commend the casting when it comes to the younger characters. The actors playing the younger versions of Valya and Tula are extremely well cast.
This review is based on the first 4 episodes
This is on a «dark» level and must be commended. It is definitely worth a watch, especially if you haven’t seen any recent shows with Travis Fimmel.
