Season 1 Review: This hollow, stuffed effort is like a mediocre "Twilight Zone" sadistically stretched out with four two-hour episodes over five grueling days. [3 May 1994, p.65]

Season 1 Review: This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with a lot of bad acting. Oh, and plenty of bad writing, too. That horrible Stephen King is back with another dreadful ABC miniseries: The Stand. Read full review
