Finished a re-read of East of Eden tonight (audiobook) and feel good again about the series. Idk why ppl are going “ehh the series didn’t do it right” yeah it’s a 12 hour book condensed into 7 episodes, they picked a main storyline and the town of Salinas and the Hamiltons didn’t make the cut. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m just so so so grateful this was a limited series and not a dragged out soap/saga like Once Upon A Time where there’s unsubtle hints of a new character being introduced and surprise…it’s Tom Hamilton and his personal torment with heavy handed foreshadowing. Also the James Dean movie omits Lee so.
