Story
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. This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. A prequel to the original Dune, it chronicles how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using her voice is from a so-called “Mentats of Dune.” All three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors.
Visually, it’s stunning
Let’s get one thing straight: the backlash to the supposed “DEI politics” in this series isn’t just annoying, it’s fundamentally misguided. Anyone familiar with Frank Herbert’s Dune universe knows that women, and specifically the Sisterhood, have always been central to the story. This isn’t a modern “rewrite” to please audiences; it’s ingrained in the lore’s very DNA. Complaining about women in power here is like criticizing sand for appearing in the desert. If that makes you uncomfortable in any way, it’s worth considering why that might be. That said, let’s focus on what matters: the series itself.
It’s not perfect, but it’s close enough to feel immersive
The art direction pays homage to the bold aesthetic established in Denis Villeneuve’s films, creating a seamless visual connection to the larger Dune universe. The scope feels ambitious yet intimate, balancing grand, wide shots with more personal, tightly framed moments. Sure, the CGI sometimes shows its budget limitations, but the overall design is so sharp and deliberate that it doesn’t matter. The writing, while not as philosophically dense as the main Dune saga, respects the intelligence of its audience. It doesn’t oversimplify or dilute the complexities of Herbert’s world to please newcomers. Instead, it leans into the power dynamics and political intrigue that make the Sisterhood so compelling.
It’s a cerebral, slow-paced narrative that rewards attention without ever feeling overly self-indulgent
The final 20 minutes of the first episode, in particular, offer a level of tension and reward that captures the spirit of Dune at its best: layered, gripping, and quietly monumental. What sets this series apart is the way it uses the Sisterhood to explore a different dimension of Dune’s sprawling universe. The political machinations are more to the fore here, offering a fresh perspective on the undercurrents of power that often drive the larger narrative. It has shades of the first Game of Thrones, but with a distinctly Dune sensibility: less gratuitous, more thoughtful, and deeply tied to the philosophical questions that define Herbert’s work. The cast is a compelling mix of seasoned performers and rising stars, with some standout performances that hint at greater things to come. As for the adaptation itself, it’s clear that the creators have been careful not to compromise the integrity of Herbert’s vision.
Trust me, it’s worth the effort
This isn’t a watered-down retelling; it’s a serious, ambitious continuation of the world he built. Sure, newcomers might find the dense lore and dark politics off-putting, but for fans of Villeneuve’s books or films, that’s part of the appeal. For those already invested in Dune, this series feels like a meaningful expansion, a chance to delve deeper into the nuances of Herbert’s universe. If you’re new, this is a worthy place to start, though you might have to work a little harder to keep up.
