The Stand (2020)
The Stand (2020) is een Amerikaanse miniserie van de zender CBS All Access. De serie ging in première op 17 december 2020.
Een supergriep maakt in The Stand een einde aan het leven van het grootste deel van de bevolking op aarde. Toch blijkt ook een behoorlijk deel immuun te zijn voor deze griep. Deze mensen krijgen last van dromen en visioenen. Een deel krijgt te maken met de oude Abagail Freemantle, die hen vraagt naar Colorado te komen. De andere helft van de overgebleven bevolking krijgt bezoek van Randall Flagg, de duivel himself. Zij worden verzocht hem te volgen richting Las Vegas. Uiteindelijk leidt dit tot de ultieme confrontatie tussen goed en kwaad.

Terrible adaptation, misses the point in all areas. Apart from a few characters, there is no character development at all, which is quite special for a series that lasts about 9 hours. Major characters such as Nick Andros, Tom Cullen and mother Abigail are not explored at all while they are so important to the story. In addition, important plot elements are completely skipped, especially in the beginning of the story. I myself have read the book and seen the original mini-series a number of times, but I can imagine that you have no idea what happens if you don't know the story yet. And then it certainly does not help that the chronology is also completely mixed up. This serves no purpose and only creates confusion. This really makes the story go from one subject to another. The acting is also not really worth mentioning, with a few exceptions this is usually mediocre to bad. And the actress who plays Frannie Goldsmith is completely awful. Strange choices have been made in the making of this series and what surprises me most is that Stephen King and his son Owen have been deeply involved in this. Stephen King apparently even wrote the totally unnecessary final episode, as if he's always regretted not putting that ending in the book. It was a painfully slow end to a lousy series. In total it takes almost 3 hours longer than the original, but the series does not manage to tell a fascinating story at that time while it did with the original. Sin.

Unfortunately, this is disappointing in many areas. Such as the non-linear storytelling style that has been chosen. Bad idea. It takes all the momentum out of the story and is killing for continuity. And the casting of Goldberg and Skasgaard hasn't been a brilliant choice either. They don't come across as the two pivots (angel and demon) why this story has to revolve. No, please read the book and then go and watch the old mini-series. Then you do more justice to this fantastic story than following this botched mess.

It certainly wasn't that bad: superfluous it was. The first miniseries was more than enough to portray King's epic. A lot of time has been spent on portraying the story well. Certainly everything in a modern jacket, but not wrong. Knowledge of the story (i.e. read the book) does help to understand everything. I thought the CGI was fine. Excellent with entertained an 8 so

Randall Flagg played by Alexander Skarsgård is such a turn off when you see the actor Jamey Sheridan in the same role. Jamey Sheridan is to me "the devil himself", his head, his attitude, the whole picture is right for this role. The other one is a weak copy, they missed the mark badly with Alexander Skarsgård. Maybe Jason Momoa would have been a better option.
