This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J
Plot
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.
A prequel to the original Dune, it chronicles how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit
Anderson. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using the voice is from a series called “Mentats of Dune.” All three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors.

Honestly, the entire time I watched the show, I felt like it belonged on the SyFy channel. I’ve heard that to really understand this show you have to read the book, so maybe that’s why the story didn’t feel rich or engaging (since I found myself distracted by everything around me and that’s what happens when I lose my attention).
Unfortunately, I think it falls into the category of recent shows like Rings of Power (which I’d argue is actually better)
While you could say the production value was high, it doesn’t feel like it belongs on MAX, especially with their other big hits.
