Prophecy and while critics are mostly impressed with the HBO series, it sounds like the first four episodes struggle to live up to Denis Villeneuve's

Dune: Prophecy hits our screens this weekend, and critics are getting the first say on the series, which serves as a prequel to Denis Villeneuve's Dune universe and follows the lives of the Bene Gesserit.
