A prequel to the original Dune, it tells how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using voice is from one called 'Mentats of Dune'. All three books interweave the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators and the Suk Doctors..
It's a great spin-off from a beloved movie franchise
This spinoff is more like Game of Thrones than it is like Dune. Having said that, Dune: Prophecy is everything i hoped it would be and more. I have to start by saying I've never read the source material or saw the original movie.
I absolutely love both of them so I had high expectations for this series
My experience of Dune is predicated on the two Dune movies that have come out the last few years starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. Those two movies (especially Dune: Part Two) are two of my favorite movies I've seen over the last few years. Dune: Prophecy is a series that takes place 10,000 years before the Dune movies start and about how the Harkonnen sisters started the Bene Gesserit as the fight off forces that threaten the future of mankind.
The show may feel more like Game of Thrones than Dune but either wayit's very entertaining
The most important thing about this show is it does exactly what it set out to do in the fact that it deepens our understanding of the Bene Gesserit. You don't have to have watched the two Dune movies to enjoy this but you'll definitely enjoy it more if you have.
