Shall I keep watching? (S1E1)


I generally liked the set-up and tone of E1. But I know many shows shit the pool pretty quickly after the first couple eps. Will I enjoy it after E1? Or does it transform into something totally different?

I just watched episode 4. So far it doesn't look like it will transform radically. You've already seen in episode 1 that major characters have been somewhat altered -- e.g., Stu is more confident and seems better educated than in the book. Some minor characters (e.g., Wayne Stukey) have been changed dramatically. Some changes of race and/or gender for some characters. Overall it's changed enough from the book that I'd call it "adapted from The Stand" rather than "The Stand." None of which seems to be any different in eps 2, 3, and 4 than in ep 1. So I think if you liked #1 you'll probably like the rest.

I hope you ended up dumping it. I didn't and regret it. Skarsgard was the only redeeming character. The rest totally MEH

I stopped halfway through Ep 2. Sounds like I made the right choice.
