After “Hamilton” made an earwormy global phenomenon from the life story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton, no chapter of history can be declared too dour for spangly, heart-on-sleeve musical treatment — though the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 is still a pretty unlikely candidate. The stage roots of “Stand!” go back further than Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway smash: It’s been 15 years since it first hit Canadian stages under the title “Strike!,” and the eventual film adaptation has the air of a patient, resourceful labor of love, while also showing why the material wasn’t more immediately rushed before cameras. Earnest and plainly felt, this grafting of a cross-cultural romance onto the story of a critical turning point in Canadian workers’ rights doesn’t want for incident and emotional commitment, but Robert Adetuyi’s film does fall a little short on showmanship.
Having bowed on home soil in 2019, “Stand!” received a one-day engagement in U.

This article contains spoilers for episode 2 of The Stand.
In episode 2 of the new CBS All Access adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand, “Pocket Savior,” we are introduced to Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo), a musician and drug addict who’s on the cusp of success when the Captain Trips superflu circles the globe and lays waste to 99% of the population.
We also meet Lloyd Henreid (Nat Wolff), a convicted murderer who does everything possible to stay alive behind bars until, alone, starving and losing his mind, he comes suddenly face to face with the Dark Man, Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard), who makes an offer that Lloyd can’t refuse.
Like the series premiere, “The End,” in which we met fellow major characters Stu Redman (James Marsden), Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young), Harold Lauder (Owen Teague) and Mother Abigail (Whoopi Goldberg), “Pocket Savior” doesn’t tell the story of Larry or the others in linear fashion.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the second episode of “The Stand,” streaming now on CBS All Access.
Jovan Adepo has developed a niche portraying iconic characters on the small screen. He starred as the adult-age Antron McCray in Netflix’s fact-based “When They See Us” in 2019, and brought Lionel Jefferson back to life that same year for “Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear’s ‘All in the Family’ and ‘The Jeffersons.'” Earlier this year he earned his first Emmy nomination for depicting the harrowing backstory of Will Reeves (aka Hooded Justice) in HBO’s “Watchmen.” And now he has taken on the role of musician Larry Underwood in CBS All Access’ adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand.”
What draws you to adaptations in which your character is one that already has such a rich history and life outside of...

Well, two episodes of The Stand tell me that this is not a production for the ages. It's not delivering on the feelings evoked from the written word, and that's a problem.
That doesn't mean that we should count it out, though. After all, it's 2020, and entertainment value counts for a lot.
The Stand Season 1 Episode 2 takes on new characters, and the pattern of moving through the timeline is again on the menu.
If The Stand Season 1 Episode 1 was sometimes hard to follow between the past, present, and the dreamscapes, it was even more difficult this time around.
Larry Underwood is a cool dude, but he appears to focus on a particular type of woman, at least as far as they look.
We met Nadine Cross before Rita Blakemoor, and Amber Heard and Heather Graham look enough alike (especially in low light) that when Rita first appeared, I thought it was Nadine.
