LOVED The Stand mini-series on ABC! I saw in it a kind of secular version of the great chastisements prophesied in Scripture and private revelations. As far as offensive material, the only thing that comes to mind is an implied sex scene “after the fact” with Laura San Giacomo’s character. Pretty tame compared to a lot of the stuff out there. I’m not one to devote myself to a mini-series — Breaking Bad and Amerika would be exceptions — but I did enjoy The Stand.
(And yes, I know, one could ask “you find one fleeting sex scene offensive but you don’t find the annihilation of almost the entire human race offensive?”. Using that reasoning, the story of Noah and the ark is offensive. And there is implied illicit sex in the Bible too. But I digress.)
