I don't understand why people expect tv show adaptations to be exactly the same as the books.
I'm a big Stephen King fan and I absolutely loved the first episode. That's also not something I say about almost all adaptations of his works. Not because they aren't adapted exactly as he wrote them, but because - generally - they are horribly acted and scripted.
Not so with the first episode of The Stand. I highly recommend ignoring the super low ratings. They are obviously trolls. Either hypercritical individuals that expect a word for word adaptation or probably super right wing folks that for whatever reason think this show has an agenda.
If you're a fan of the book, I am positive you'll like the first episode.
