Anderson’s Great Schools of Dune trilogy
Two Harkonnen sisters battle forces that threaten the future of humanity and establish 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 Brian Herbert and Kevin J.

A prequel to the original Dune, it tells the story of how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using the voice of one called ‘Mentats of Dune’ All three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors. Okay, so I’ve been putting off watching this honestly because every trailer has looked so boring.
It’s definitely interesting
Tonight, out of sheer desperation for something new to watch, I broke down and decided to give it a try. You know what, I’m glad I did. The acting is decent, the world is solid, and there are some very dynamic characters.
Too much buildup and not enough delivery
The biggest downside is the pacing so far. The first episode really drags towards the end, but I’m not going to lie, the ending was good. My only concern is that this might have the same problem that the power rings have.
Only time will tell
I’ll update this once I’m able to complete the entire series.
