Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Battlestar Galactica or WandaVision, start here.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 4 hours in all.
What might put you off
Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.

Twelve years following the events of Dune, the Atreides family must overcome a conspiracy that threatens to destroy their legacy and undermine their House in the eyes of The Empire. Only Paul's children can prevent this catastrophe from destroying everything and saving House Atreides from this malevolent force.
