Anderson’s Great Schools of Dune trilogy
Chronology
Two Harkonnen sisters battle forces that threaten the future of humanity and form the fabled sect that becomes known as the Bene Gesserit. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women embody what science fiction is all about. This series uses material from Brian Herbert and Kevin J.

A prequel to the original Dune, it tells how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident in which Valya Harkonnen uses her voice comes from a book called Mentats of Dune. All three books weave together the evolution of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk doctors.
No depth, the conversations are pretty cheesy at times
I knew it couldn’t have the same quality as the movies, but I didn’t expect it to be so… mediocre. I thought for a moment it was an Amazon production and not HBO.
No real special effects, feels a bit cheap
Not the right casting for some roles; not because the actors are bad, but just not suited to the role. There’s too much going on in the first episode, jumping from one scene to the next as if they were rushing through. Some scenes also make me wonder why they even bothered to do them.
I really hope it gets better
I’m not sure what camera they used, but the shots look too plain.
