Dune Prophecy has all the trappings of success. A great cast, mixing talented newcomers and experienced veteran actors, excellent production values, a well known sci fi saga "Dune" but for me, that's where the positives end.
As far as I can see this series is far removed from the conceptualisations and story, as espoused in the novels and the films. What you get instead, in my view, is revisionism mixed with woke-ism and a noticeably unpleasant dash, of what I would characterise as, misandry.
In summary, who is this pitched at, I wonder? I will say too, drawing on a well known brand, series or novel(s) doesn't mean that what you are presented with is necessarily accurate or representative. That has never been more obvious than it is in entertainment, if you can still call it that, today. An emphatic pass from me.
