Same, thought it was canceled years ago tbh

> Those first 5 seasons are so great to me, too, cause I’m from the PNW and having a show set/filmed in that area just gives it that extra mood

Thiiiiis. I always love when they're out in the woods somewhere cause it's like "that looks like where I walked my dog yesterday"

I'm the same way but I think I'm gonna give this version a try

> i don't know if that's a runtime issue or a "this show gets weird and would be hard to translate"

It's the latter. There's an entire sequence at the end involving a proton that is one of the coolest sci-fi things I've ever read but seems impossible to film. It'll be a lot of exposition over some hopefully cool cgi but like, I wouldnt want to be the graphic artists in charge of that.

> Can any dune fans attest if it’s as good as the original books?

Brian Herbert & his writing partner are absolutely awful. Like horrific. It's all 100% a cash grab
