My View

From a post I made on FB

Since I've been in Stillwater for the last couple of months or so, and my wife has Roku I was able to watch The Stand

Here is my review.

It was a mixed bag for me like I gather it was for the majority of you. The acting and effects were good, but the cast and the script could have used a bit more work.
On the cast, I think that one improvement over the 1994 miniseries was Odessa Young as Fran. Amber heard was adequate as Nadine, and the kid who played Joe was good. James Marsden, Whoopi Goldberg, and Alexander Skarsgard were adequate Lloyd was a disaster but most of the rest of the cast was 'meh' at best.

The real weak point of this miniseries was the script, however. While it followed the original story fairly well, (which I liked) it definitely had its' flaws. The main one was the series skipping around too much. For those who are familiar with the book, like most of us, it was not hard to follow the story but to those who haven't read the book, it could present difficulties

And while the story of the Free Zone was presented well, with few extra trappings, the story of the Vegas residents presented them as a bunch of crazies, which in the book, they were anything but. The way Lloyd was handled was totally off-the-wall.

So. this is my impression of the 2020 series. I enjoyed it, but I could also see major flaws as well.
