Synopsis
TV series set in the 'Dune' universe which centers on the lives of 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 is the first of the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, and tells how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit..
The pacing, though?
Referenced in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: The New Normal (2020) . Let’s keep this review nice and tidy, shall we? No spoilers here-wouldn’t dream of ruining the mystery for you lot.Now, the tale itself is, well, perfectly serviceable. Nothing to write home about.
Rather verbose, I must say
It’s a bit of a slog at times, like trying to trudge through a rainstorm in wellies that are just a smidge too tight. The drama, I’m afraid, doesn’t exactly set the world alight, though there are a few select moments that manage to catch the eye.As for the production, well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. It doesn’t exactly scream "high-end," more like a budget-friendly imitation of what you’d expect from the big leagues. Still, it’s all competent enough, though certainly no masterpiece.
Neither dazzles nor lingers in the mind
But let’s not be too harsh-there’s a lovely bit of acting on display, particularly from Tabu. That woman is an absolute gem, a class act who brings a certain gravitas that the rest of the production could sorely use.Cinematography and music, alas, are a bit of a letdown compared to DUNE. Direction? Well, it gets the job done, but doesn’t exactly spin any gold, if you catch my drift.So, would I recommend it?

If you’re itching to uncover the backstory and see where things all begin, by all means, give it a whirl. Just don’t expect fireworks-more like a few sparklers on a vapor evening. Better watch Indian Mini Series "BRINDA" which may be low on budget but high on content with intriguing narration and realistic acting.. A new season of "Silo" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
