So true. And I think if you’re going to with IP as iconic and sprawling as Dune, you have to be confident that you’re telling A Good Story & consider the IP only after that, or it doesn’t work

I LOVED the acting (as detailed in the review), and I think the biggest weakness of the show was that the creators didn’t believe their story could work without existing IP.

That aspect of it truly felt like such a waste! Either commit to original material or make it an extension of the movies
