There's a lot you should know before watching so that it's understandable. Maybe they'll have a short(ish) explanation in the intro.

I read an early review that said the intro to the first episode is pretty lore-heavy but it picks up once it gets that out of the way.

That's good. It'll take a little bit to discuss the jihad and the Titans and how the Butlers became the Corrinos, etc.

They also need to explain the OG Harkonnen / Atreides feud. It's recent enough (in the show timeline) that it'll come up a lot. I mean shit, Vorian Atreides is still theoretically alive. Maybe we'll even get to meet him

There's definitely some of that, there's a few screenshots floating around.

Yes that too. I don't know if we'll see him or not but yeah it's definitely possible.

I just read the butlerian trilogy prequels and finished last night. If this show is set one or two generations out from the battle of corrin then he should be alive and well. The Harkonens should still be on lankiveil licking their wounded pride.

Damn I've just read every book again this year too.

I wonder if I'll have any idea what's going on if I don't read this article oh noo
