Dune: Prophecy is set a century after the end of humanity’s war against ‘thinking machines’

In Dune: Prophecy, the HBO series is set a century after the end of humanity’s war against “thinking machines” The HBO series hit numerous road bumps on the way to the screen, among them losing Diane Ademu-John , who wrote the first episode.

The first episode spends several scenes individuating the young women of the sisterhood as if they’re going to be characters in their own right.

The plot constricts around the conflict between Valya and Desmond .

There are hints of a larger, presumably multi-season story, but they feel more like Lost ’s four -toed statues.
