Dune: Prophecy

This series had everything the bloated, bombastic, empty, Villeneuve films didn't. Acute characterisation, actors and actresses appropriate to their roles (the actor playing Emperor Javicco here looked like a monarch unlike Christopher Walken in the film). Intrigue, politics, the spice, the Bene Gesserit. The series didn't sacrifice any of these on the altar of pomposity and spectacle.

Based on the prequels by Herbert's son although with differences and newly invented and introduced characters this was a feast to be devoured all at once - I waited till I had all of the episodes available and then watched to lot in thirty six hours.

One thing I profoundly commend is that there was barely an American accent to be heard. They are just so unsuited for such epics.

I can't wait for the next season to arrive.
