'The Stand' review: CBS All Access turns Stephen King's epic book into 9-part series CNN 12/17/2020 © Robert Falconer/CBS Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail in 'The Stand' (Robert Falconer/CBS) The original 1994 version of "The Stand" is rightfully ranked among the best Stephen King miniseries, admittedly not an inordinately high bar. Streaming brings the chance to expand upon that with a nine-part, harder-edged CBS All Access presentation that's solidly executed but too stretched out as it slowly builds toward the clash between good and evil in a post-apocalyptic world.

Yes, it’s true that, in the beginning, a plague wipes out 99 percent of humanity, but then those that survive come together to deal with an elemental struggle between good and evi...

Entertainment Disclaimer: This review is based on the first 4 (out of 9) episodes of ‘The Stand’ 'The Stand', Stephen King’s sprawling 1978 novel is heavy material for adaptation, even in the form of a multi-season show.
