This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J
Scenario
Two Harkonnen sisters combat forces that threaten the future of mankind and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.. Whether they are exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about..
The incident with Valya Harkonnen using voice is from one called 'Mentats of Dune'
Anderson. A prequel to the original Dune, it tells how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit.

All three books interweave the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators and the Suk Doctors.. Honestly, the whole time I was watching the show, I got the feeling that it belongs to be aired on the SyFy channel.
Unfortunately, I think this goes in the category of recent shows like the Rings of Power (which I would argue is actually better)
I have heard that to really understand this series you need to read the book so maybe that’s the reason the story just didn’t seem rich, nor captivating (as I found myself distracted by everything around me and that happens when my attention is lost). Although you can tell the production value was large, it just doesn’t seem like it belongs on MAX, especially with their other huge hits.
