The Stand 2020

My attention was drawn to this show first, because of Alexander Skarsgård; second, because it's based on a Stephen King book; and third, because I like stories about biblical, apocalyptic, good vs evil. I did not see the 1994 movie version, nor have I read the book. I can't say I did not enjoy this show, but it wasn't the core-shocking, fact-researching story line I had hoped for. The actors were on target and did well with the characters. The story flowed evenly and until about the last 2, then to me, it seemed to "rush" to finish. Filming was completed on this movie prior to our pandemic, but with our current political climate, on top of the pandemic fiasco that's happening, this movie doesn't seem too far off. You almost have to "pick a side" nowadays. I would recommend this as a time-filler between seasons of regular, dedicated-to, never-miss, weekly TV shows - - - if you like stories about biblical, apocalyptic, good vs evil - - - or just watching Alexander Skarsgård!
