The two words that pop into my head when I think of The Stand are "perfectly competent." Solid cinematography? Check. Great pacing? Check. Charismatic, villainous performance by Alexander Skarsgård? Double check. But here's the thing: The Walking Dead has been doing everything The Stand does for over 10 years. The latter just doesn't do anything to distinguish itself, aside from being based on a Stephen King story. I've heard it's one of King's best novels, but whatever spark made the book so special either isn't in the show or just doesn't register amidst the television landscape of 2021
