## Description

After a viral plague decimated 99% of the world's population, a few survivors felt themselves compelled for pilgrimages to either the Boulder compound of wise centenarian Mother Abagail Freemantle (Whoopi Goldberg)... or the Vegas stronghold of cruelly charismatic Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgård). Expansive second take on Stephen King's apocalyptic chiller co-stars Greg Kinnear, James Marsden, J.K. Simmons, Amber Heard, Heather Graham, Odessa Young. 8 1/2 hrs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.

Review: I liked it much more than the '94 miniseries! - I'm not one to write long-winded reviews, so let's get to it: first off, I'm a 41 year old who has always been curious about The Stand (I remember my mom watching it when I was younger). So, I finally decided to check it out. I read the book (uncensored and uncut edition, 1152 pages), and I absolutely loved it. The characters really grow on you, great character depth and growth in the main cast, both good and bad. After the book, I decided that I HAD to see the shows, so I ordered both the '94 miniseries and the newer 2020 remake. First, I watched the '94 series. I'd seen in reviews that it seemed a lot of people preferred this version, which is why I started with it. If I'm being honest, I really can't say that I enjoyed it much. It was pretty faithful to the book, but sometimes maybe a bit too faithful. There are times when something that works well on the written page simply does not translate to the screen, and this series had a number of those instances. Overall I felt like the acting was bad, it was very campy, and was limited by the shorter runtime ('94 series was 6 hours as compared to almost 9 hours in the remake). It wasn't horrible but I'd give it a 3 out of 5. Then I watched the 2020 remake, and I have to say, it was all around much, much better in my opinion. I've seen people who didn't like the way the episodes were disjointed, how it jumped from the present to the past sporadically, and while I understand how they feel I want to point out that I felt this series was made for fans of the book. If you've read the book and are familiar with the story, then the remake's pacing is great. There are some small changes here and there, a few minor characters are missing, a gender swap or a race swap with a few characters, but I thought it still worked very well for the story and in some cases the changes were more fitting as opposed to what was originally in the book. I was very satisfied with this remake, and would give it a 4.5 out of 5. I rated it 5 stars for this review because I couldn't do half stars. Well, I guess that ended up pretty long-winded 😅, sorry. I hope this helps anyone trying to decide which version to get. Thanks for reading!
Review: Great series - Seen a preview of this show that I never heard of before purchased it. Binge watched it loved it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great series
*by K***E on December 25, 2025*

Seen a preview of this show that I never heard of before purchased it. Binge watched it loved it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unnecessary changes but overall good
*by A***R on November 27, 2021*

I watched the original stand with Rob lowe back in the day and overall this one stacks up well to the original. In an effort to be "inclusive" they changed the racial and sexual identities of several of the cast members which was a little jarring and they also altered the progression of the story from the original tv miniseries . Either change by itself would have been okay but both were a little much. In my opinion, Alexander Skarsgard steals the show as Randall Flagg and Whoppi Goldberg's version of Mother Abagail was also very good but her physical appearance just doesn't match Stephen King's description as a very thin frail woman. In that regard Ms.Tyson was much more accurate to the book. I think they did a good job modernizing the story for a new generation and I like the fact that they gave "Frannie" an end story. Overall good job but just a little too "inclusive". Stick with the source and you can't go wrong and if you haven't read the book please do as it's 100x better than either series.
