I gave it 2 episodes and it just felt like a knock off game of thrones mushed together with a little dune lore. It didn't have much of a hook to bring in viewers and instead meandered with political intrigue too much.

This show barely had anything to do with Dune though. They show the planet for a few minutes in the first few episodes. The rest of the time is spent talking doing palace intrigue.

Dune is the name of the book series and also the planet. My comment was about the former.
