What is this take on starting a story out of chronological order, I love the novel the Stand, I loved the 90's mini-series to the point it made me want to read the book, I devoured the book over and over again because the story was so great, I went back to the mini-series to revisit those wonderful characters. My review isn't dissing the actors in the roles for The Stand 2020, I am positive they are suited but why.,. To quote A sound of Music "let's go back to the very beginning". Whatever executive thought it would be fun to let people guess how people got sick in the middle of a global pandemic about the start of a Stephen King made pandemic I would mark that person up and sell them on.
