The Stand is based on Stephen King‘s 1987 book of the same name. It is described as King’s “apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil”, with the fate of mankind resting on the shoulders of 108-year-old Mother Abagail, as well as a small group of other survivors.Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.
Since its debut, reviews have been pretty mixed — with some people calling it the best adaptation of King’s work yet, while others feel it has been disappointing – and others have just been ignoring it completely to stream Johnny Depp films instead.
