This year I was introduced to Dune, yes I know that I am several decades late. But when the first Villeneuve film was re-released into theaters, I saw it for the first time and fell in love. I counted the days until the second film came out and then when Dune Prophecy was announced; I was beyond excited. Now Max took some concerning steps regarding its marketing and release (including not giving fans a release date until 3 weeks before) so I am interested to see how the show performs overall. But it is released in a weekly format so hopefully it will have time to find its audience. Let’s get into the first episode.

The first episode of Dune Prophecy certainly set up a lot of things. They tried to shove a lot in this first episode. I am not sure that they are going to be able to properly explore all of this and wrap it up in 6 episodes. Unfortunately a major problem with streaming series is that they are really short. 6 episodes for a prequel series would be perfect if it was documentary style but there really isn’t enough time to tell a story here.
