Of course, three episodes is not enough. For those who have not read the works of F.Herbert, many points in general probably seemed strange, incomprehensible, illogical and far-fetched. One thing is reassuring - the Chronicles of Dune saga is a cult science fiction work and every 20-30 years there will be those who want to film it))) I hope we will live to see a full and detailed expensive film adaptation.
The long scene, interspersed with footage of Chani's birth and the massacre of the conspirators, turned out to be very impressive.
Arrakis was a desert planet, for whose inhabitants water was of the greatest value. They dreamed of landscaping it. The planet was inhabited by huge sandworms, and it was only on Arrakis that the greatest value of the universe, spice, was mined.
As a result, when Paul MuadDib came to power, he continued the idea of landscaping.
But everything turned out to be not so simple - it turns out that it was the worms that produced the spice. And the worms, in turn, died from the water. That is, by destroying the desert, turning it into an oasis, they would lose spice. And to leave everything as it is - the life of people in the desert would be eternal suffering and survival. In short, some kind of balance was needed.
Aliya "went crazy" and decided to destroy the desert completely, and Dom Corrino stole worms to breed them at home, hoping that they too would be able to produce spice.
Who betrayed whom is a difficult question, and which of them is right? Young McEvoy decided to preserve the desert and ruled like a tyrant.
