Profound, profane or pedestrian

I've seen Lynch's movie and the series (or a part of the series at least). Lynch's movie is visually stunning but he has no idea what the story is about whereas the series is much closer to the original story's feel. In fact the smaller sets add to the feeling of oppression and persecution that permeates the first book. I haven't seen all of the mini-series or any of the Children of Dune but it's yet another on my list to watch.
