The Stand - Season 1 (1994)
At a government laboratory in California, a weaponized version of influenza is accidentally released, immediately wiping out most of the population of the world. The remaining survivors now split into two groups, one led by a benevolent elder and the other by a maleficent being, to face each other in a final battle between good and evil.

Hampered by network TV squeamishness and early 1990s dodgy CGI, but there are plenty of good moments.

Should sustain the interest of King fans, who number in the millions, and may pick up some non-King followers.

A well-made film with a lot of good acting talent.

One of the most enjoyable things about Stephen King's The Stand is its sheer messy sprawl.
August 31, 2017
The Stand is constrained, diminished by its dreary pace, by simplistic characters and motivations, and by its cramped, narrow sense of time.

Epic storytelling at its finest.

To this day it's still a very compelling and engrossing look at humanity, the will to live, and the mysteries of why we're incapable of working together to make life easy on one another.
