Jesus, and people tell me am childish for watching animated shows while they turn around and call shit like this good.
It's okay. It's not really up to common high standards for Stephen King adpatations. i.e. It's very slow. Worth a watch at some point in the life time though. I wonder if the fallout game series originally was loosely based on this.
Stephen King's epic plague-Armageddon evil-against-good horror soap is extremely faithful to the book as it was also adapted and produced by it's writer, Stephen King. It is a production that looks good, especially during it's first episode when the plague hits U.S. and we get to see a lot of bodies and an abandoned New York. Joey Sheridan does a memorable villain playing him like a wicked country music star but also Laura San Giacomo and Corin Nemec has memorable moments. The ending is plagued with the same problems as in the book with a special appearance from the Hand of God. Molly Ringwald is a whiny heroine too and has no chemistry with Gary Sinise. Several of the other minions of Flagg are sadly underwritten and would have been interesting to have followed, especially Shawnee Smith, Sam Anderson and Miguel Ferrer's characters. Matt Frewer on the other hand is over-the-top and laughable.
A pretty good adaptation of 'The Stand'. Would love to see one done now with the polish and finesse TV making has now. It just felt too 90s to be really great (the guy playing Llyod Henried was great though).
Molly Ringwald was awful, Randall Flagg was not quite how I pictured him and smart move Stu - I wouldn't have accepted that sandwich either. Who the hell knows where Tom got the bread for that.

Time has certainly not benefited one of the first great adaptations of Stephen King's novels to television. But, after 26 years and with the new version being broadcast, there are remarkable elements, even impossible to include in a current production (the corpses in the garbage truck ...). Within its restrictions, it is a very successful version, which manages to convey the complex apocalyptic universe of the novel.
