This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J
Tale
Two Harkonnen sisters combat forces that threaten the future of mankind and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.. Whether they are 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 tells how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit.
It’s a rather good production
The incident with Valya Harkonnen using voice is from one called 'Mentats of Dune'. All three books interweave the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators and the Suk Doctors.. Referenced in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: The New Normal (2020). Effects work, story works well enough and is engaging.
I am hooked that’s for sure
However, if there is one thing that bothers me, then it’s Travis Fimmel. First off, I have to say that I absolutely love him. He brings an intensity that is hard to match. As good as this is, he is extremely one dimensional.
They have done an excellent job there
We have seen it the warcraft movie and raised by wolves. He basically always is Ragnar Lothbrok and it’s extremely distracting. I truly hope that his character gets killed off asap because it’s the one thing that, on a subjective level, has a negative impact on this TV series. I have to praise the casting when it comes to the younger characters.
This review is based on the first 4 episodes
The actors playing the younger versions of Valya and Tula are extremely well cast. This is on a "dark" level and needs to be praised. It’s definitely worth a watch, especially if you haven’t seen any recent shows with Travis Fimmel in it.
