It was only a couple of months ago when we last discussed the upcoming Stephen King mini-series “The Stand”. This will air episodically over on the CBS All Access streaming service and if you missed the dramatic trailer please click HERE for some quick background. It really looks good and below you will find the poster, premise and ensemble casting. Don’t worry I will close out with some editorial for good measure since you expect me to.

The Premise:
The Stand is described as “King’s apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil. The fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied by a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the nefarious ‘Dark Man.’

It’s without question that the streaming services have been kicking it up a notch with the content they are offering their subscribers which during a global pandemic is a very, very good thing. CBS All Access has just released the official trailer for their upcoming mini-series with Stephen King’s “The Stand”. Let’s take a look at this down below along with some premise, a promotional visual and the ensemble cast.

It was just about a week ago when I shared the Official Trailer for “The Fugitive” which is the next foray into short-form entertainment from the folks over at Quibi. Today this series has just gone “live” for those who are finding this method of entertainment to their liking. Let’s review the new poster, premise and casting before I close up with some editorial opinion.

The Premise:
When a bomb rips through the Los Angeles subway train he’s riding on, blue-collar Mike Ferro just wants to make sure his wife, Allison, and 10-year-old daughter, Pearl, are safe. But the faulty evidence on the ground and “tweet-now, confirm-later” journalism paint a nightmarish picture: it looks to all the world that Mike was responsible for the heinous act. Wrongfully—and very publicly—accused, Mike must prove his innocence by uncovering the real perpetrator, before the legendary cop heading the investigation can apprehend him.

Some of you readers might remember my sharing some trailers for this new Quibi short-form streaming service in an effort to upgrade the amount of content in our Pop Culture focuses. The first show that we discussed was their take on “Most Dangerous Game” and if you click the highlighted text you can see those narratives. Next up comes their new version of “The Fugitive”. This was a very popular show in the fifties and also a great movie with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones so let’s see how they modified this premise with the first Official Trailer online now. Enjoy.
