Dune: Prophecy Season 1 Review

‘Dune: Prophecy’ Gives Frank Herbert’s Sci-Fi Saga the ‘Game of Thrones’ Treatment. The new series, set 10,000 years before Paul Atreides’ birth, follows the early days of the mystical Bene Gesserit movement and those who sought power through bloodlines. Launching on HBO and Max on Sunday, November 17th with its first episode, this six-episode new series is set in the recognizable portrayal of ‘Dune’ as established by director Denis Villeneuve with his two epic movies.

Yet it’s also different enough –– partly because it’s set 10,000 years before those films takes place and has a decidedly alternate viewpoint –– that it succeeds in being a worthwhile supplement to the movies and boasts an impressively epic scale.
