The thing is it's a very political/slow build story which is why I think it would make an amazing TV series. You could literally have had two or three hour-long episodes before they even landed on Arrakis ... establishing the Houses, the Bene Gesserit, Emperor Shaddam IV, Paul's relationships with Duke Leto, Duncan, Lady Jessica, Gurney Hallek etc. ... and I think vitally, much more depth into
what the "spice" actually is and how important it is, how unique that makes Arrakis, etc.
But yeah ... basically I really like the Dune lore but think it would work far better as an extended narrative over a multi-season TV show.
