And overall I'd place it as one of the best sci-fi series of all time.
And I agree avoid everything Frank Herbert didn't write, they range from bad to offensively bad. Unless they've improved by many orders of magnitude lately.

I'm the same way. When I was young I loved the original, liked the next couple, and struggled with the later ones. Now I appreciate the later books a lot more, I just wish he'd lived to finish the story instead of the abomination his son and Kevin Anderson wrote (there are elements that I think probably are consistent with Herbert's vision of the end, but the execution was terrible).
