    I think that it does improve after ep1, but we still abandoned it after around 4 eps. There was still nothing compelling or that added to the overall Duniverse.

      I only watched Dune once so I’m not into the Duniverse. Is it any good as a standalone show?

          It’s because they used the prequel bullshit by Kevin J. Anderson as a basis. He is a shit writer.

          I would much rather see a God Emperor series. There is so much you could do with that.

    It might be better as a binge rather than watching it week-to-week like I did. Overall I felt that not enough was done with the vast opportunities the IP provided, and it seemed a lot of money was spent on a less-than-compelling season of “prestige” tv.

    But they got renewed for a second season, so I am probably an outlier.

    Slightly better, but not significantly, and it dips in parts.

    Honestly give it a miss, if s2 is much better then consider going back.

    It was the opposite for me, the first episode or so grabbed me… but then it’s just fine.

    By the end I didn’t hate it, I’ll probably watch season 2, but if it gets cancelled I won’t be surprised or that sad.

    I fin that quality and intensity and tone dips up and down, but I found it engaging and well written and acted. There is a lot of world building without exposition, but some is needed which makes some parts a bit janky. However, when that exposition is done, it picks up, I find.
