    The Stand (TV Series) - 2020

    Not sure about Whoopi Goldberg being in it, but hopefully she'll pull a good performance out of the bag - https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com...nd-miniseries/

    Note the traffic lights are on! Nice to know the power is still working after everyone is dead!

    If it's a screenshot from a finished episode then it's a mistake, but if it's just an on-set production still (which are regularly used for promotional purposes) then that's another thing.

    I would imagine it’s just a production still. Reminiscent of our first photo from TWD back in 2010, which was just Rick walking down a Georgia road with a fuel can. A shot that never really appeared in the show, as he never had the gas can on that particular stretch of road(where he’s shot).

    I don't like the way it's been edited and very disappointed by a certain change in the second episode but will keep rolling with it.

    Watched the first episode. It was OK (ish). Not mad about the structure either.

    I was never a fan of the book and all that Mother Abigale/walking dude stuff didn't grab me at all. I'll give the next couple of episodes a watch, but I can't see myself sticking with it unless it gets better real fast.

    Saw the first episode and didn't really fall for the chronological gymnastics it tries to perform. I'm guessing each episode showcases one, or two characters and the first one was Harold Lauder and to a lesser extent Stu Redman.

    Well, just signed up to StarzPlay for 99p a month which is featuring this series... So I'll give some feedback as I watch it...

    It's ok?

    Just ok. The very definition of "nothing special".

    I wish CBS All Access was 99p a month. PFFT.

    I haven't watched this yet. The "ok" reviews on here haven't inspired me to rush to watch it.

    Finding the time jumps back and forward don't work very well, and the characters generally quite flat.

     
    And the Lincoln Tunnel scene being replaced with going through a 'haunted' sewer? What a waste!
