Spoilers for âThe Standâ on CBS All Access and Stephen King s 1978 book
Mystery and tragedy fill the second episode of âThe Standâ. Based on Stephen King s 1978 novel, the tale shifts from introducing Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young), Harold Lauder (Owen Teague), and Stu Redman (James Marsden) to showing a glimpse of the lives of Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo) and Lloyd Henreid (Nat Wolff). Instead of following the linear narrative of the book, the series uses the flashback formula to peep into the characters lives.
After âThe Endâ ended on a mysterious cliffhanger about the visions, âPocket Saviorâ leans into Larry s love story with Rita Blakemoor (Heather Graham) and Lloyd s life behind the bars after a robbery-gone-wrong. Over an hour long, the drama begins with Larry s playing his breakout hit âBaby Can You Dig Your Manâ at concerts as the entire band calls in sick after the virus Captain Trips spreads around

Review: Stephen King modeled ‘The Stand’ on ‘Lord of the Rings.’ TV has done it no favors [Los Angeles Times]
As a story of a world-gutting flu pandemic, Stephen King’s “The Stand,” whose second, superior miniseries adaptation begins Thursday on CBS All Access, could not be more timely. And as a story of good and evil facing off for the usual high stakes and of democracy versus autocracy, self-sacrifice versus narcissism it also feels very on brand for 2020. Whether that makes people more or less inclined to watch, I couldn’t say.
I have reviewed a lot of King adaptations over the years, and apart from “The Shining,” my King reading consists entirely of preparing to review TV adaptations of Stephen King novels.
