Is it the StarzPlay channel Cas? It's currently 99p p/m for 3 months for Prime members, but that offer ends 06/01.
I can only see one episode available?Thanks Cas,
Finished ep3, not has strong as previous two... not quite hit the heights of the The Outsider just yet, momentum is slowly building as we now see more of Flagg.
I read the book like many decades ago and at the time and still is a classic, the double VHS set in the 90s was also quite good too.
Irony watching this in the times we currently reside in don't you think..........................
I can only see one episode available?
I got mine from outside the UK...... been out a couple of weeks now.I can only see one episode available?
I remember favourably the original series so combined with your review I might have given this show a chance. Even if you have been much more charitable than other reviews and audience scores I've seen. But with a well known abuser involved, there's no chance.
Yeah, I thought the opening episode was strong. Great performances all round and some pretty heavyweight names in there too. Feels like the showrunners really love the material, you can feel that. And everyone is bringing their A-game. Very promising!
The onle thing I will concede to this is that I agree that the flashback/flashforward structure takes a lot more away from the story than it provides. The Stand is definitely better told as a linear narrative that moves between characters, but not between time periods.This is weak in so many areas . The flash forward and back structure is deeply annoying offering little in the way of following a character's development arc. I counted 5 separate time frames for a single character in one episode.
The actors seem hopelessly miscast and performances are dull.
The cinematography is bland and cramped in the extreme. It looks worse than the previous serious and eveb more set bound and hokey
The jump scares are so predictable , the pandemic feels like its over and done in a day. I really don't think I can stick with this and I'm a big fan of the book.
Even the music is off kilter and not in a good way. Just feels amateurish and pointless . Really disappointing.

I thought this Channel is coming to Disney+.Yes that's it. That offer has been running on and off for a year now, so if you miss it, it should come around again. But yes, defo consider the 99p one a great deal considering some of the exclusive content.
Is there any nudity in it?
