I love Dune. I've read all six books and loved the movies. I haven't read the son's books. I've heard they're bad. I guess this is based on one of them. My first thought was "why?" They're infamously bad. Anyway... I was looking forward to this show. I got 12 minutes in and couldn't keep my eyes open. Turned it off. Terrible writing and direction. Maybe I'll go back to it. Maybe not. The rest of this review is just me typing in words to order to fill out the 600-character minimum. How am I doing? Are you enjoying it? Are you still reading? If so, why? I've already told you it's just filler. Go live your life. Ok we're good now. Thanks for sticking around. Jesus likes you the best.

I've been a big Amy Schumer fan for a long time. Saw her onstage before Covid, before she had the family. She was already a star. And she was awesome. Sharp and full of smart jokes and energy.

But she clearly stopped practicing her craft in the last few years. After ten minutes I stopped watching this. Because I saw an insecure, unpracticed comedienne using hackneyed jokes with lame delivery and amateurish tags. And then she went for a laugh by making a chipmunk face, and I just cringed. This is really disappointing. She was such a great joke writer and performer. But standup is clearly not her top priority anymore. But when that contract is still there, well....

It's best to not know anything going into this. Just understand he's like an existential philosopher. You won't laugh every ten seconds. But when you do, it'll be worth it. And get to the end: it's all building to something.
