Netflix’s new miniseries East of Eden kicks off with a self-contained pilot telling the stories of the Trask brothers. Adam and Charles, raised by their demanding father, Cyrus, tackle adolescence in the late 19th century before being split up—one to the military, one stuck on the farm. Fast forward to 1899 when a reunion provides the possibility of final peace, just as a bloodied Cathy Ames crawls up to their doorstep.

On the podcast, we break down the first episode. We discuss the intense family dynamic, the timeline jumps, and how well this new adaptation sets up the board for the rest of the series.
