The Stand (2020–2021)
6/10
Having watched the first 4 episodes, I feel ready to share my thoughts on this mini series. Starts with a bang, and is quickly bogged down to boring.

I thought the first episode was good and a solid start to the series. Now having just finished episode 4, every episode I have watched has been worse since episode 1. Episode 3 felt very thin. Episode 4 is almost entirely a filler episode that barely progresses the story at all. The show has bogged down to a crawl at this point. I will finish watching this now just because I already invested the time to get this far. I watched the 1994 The Stand series many times over the years and enjoy, and for all its flaws, enjoy it more than this new run at it. None of the characters are particularly good and nothing from the series stands out. 6/10. watch if you are a Stephen King fan, otherwise you wont be missing much by skipping this run. I will continue to enjoy the 1994 Stand in the future, but I cant ever see myself wanting to rewatch these episodes.
