Hey Everyone and Welcome to What Did I Miss, where today I am ranking the 16 characters in the new Stephen King adaptation, the Stand series on CBS All Access. This will be a spoiler free ranking, so if you are trying to decide if you should watch the new adaptation of the Stand series this is probably the perfect video to do that. I will be comparing these character depictions to the characters in the book and the 1994 mini-series when applicable and letting you know what I thought of the performance of each. Being a big fan of both the book and the series from the 90’s, I was very excited for this new adaptation to be released, especially given some of the names in the cast. The Stand is an enormous tale about good vs evil in a post-outbreak apocalypse that Stephen King wrote as a love letter to the Lord of the Rings, trying to adapt the classic story with a modern take when it was published in 1978. The book was a great success, especially given the length, and propelled King to unmatched success as a novel writer whose works were being adapted quickly to both movies and mini-series. After the success of the adaptation of the book IT and various others, the Stand was green lit as a mini-series in the early nineties after being in development hell as a feature film almost since the books release, and debuted with 4, 2 hours episodes to critical acclaim as well. One of the highlights of both the novel and the mini-series are the fascinating characters we meet along the way, and those characters are who I would like to discuss today. Also, the Stand has an immense cast, so I picked out the 16 characters I thought were most important to the plot. This is just my list, so let me know who you think are the most characters in the comments below, because I would love to talk about one of my favorite books of all time with you. OK, so let’s get into ranking the 16 characters in the new Stand CBS All-Access mini-series.
