In this episode of 'Need Some Introduction,' host Victor solo delves into three new TV offerings that focus on themes of rebellion and control, particularly through the lens of powerful female characters. Victor discusses the adaptation of 'Say Nothing,' detailing the political strife in Ireland across decades and its depiction on Disney and Hulu. He also reviews the second season premiere of 'Silo' on Apple TV+, remarking on its slow plot progression despite intriguing premises. Lastly, Victor gives his take on HBO Max's 'Dune: Prophecy,' expressing dissatisfaction with its excessive narration and the staggering 10,000-year timeline disconnect from the main Dune story.
