Episode 14, “Life Is a Promise”, is about as good of an ending as we could have hoped for given the circumstances.

It’s fair to say that Dune: Prophecy hasn’t exactly resonated with viewers the way HBO probably wanted.

Watching an episode of Shrinking is hard work, sometimes. Here I was thinking that Episode 10 of Season 2, “Changing Patterns”, was an exclusively positive installment. It...
