" The mini-series gets the story right. Otherwise it has low budget looking sets and costumes that are a distraction.
If you can get passed the flaws. It’s possibly the most faithful. Since the new movies cut out that the sister is a creepy child.
This is the only version that had Paul and Chani have a child that was killed. As well. "
"For Dune "completists" mostly. This is a made-for-tv production. You'll need to overlook bad special effects, cheap sets, and some poor acting. But somewhat faithful to book, with some scenes not in other adaptations. There were some great performances: William Hurt as Duke Leto, Ian McNiece (brilliant, maybe my favorite Baron), Julie Cox in an expanded role for Princess Irulan (but it worked somehow), and the actress who played Lady Jessica. Flawed, but I enjoyed it."
