The Stand ruined some of Stephen King’s best villains and left the heroes with little to do, which makes it surprising that the writer himself almost saved the series in a single episode. The Stand creator and showrunner Josh Boone's strange decision to tell its already overstuffed plot in non-linear order was one major mistake, while the profound misunderstanding of numerous key figures in the text didn’t help the reception of the miniseries. However, it soon became clear based on reviews that bad timing was in fact the most minor issue faced by the miniseries. Understandably, a story about a killer pandemic wiping out much of America failed to enthuse viewers when The Stand fatefully premiered in December of 2020.
