The internet was wrong about East of Eden
Early "East of Eden" teasers had viewers concerned that Florence Pugh's Cathy Ames wouldn't be evil. Don't worry: She is.
When Netflix unveiled its teaser for the East of Eden adaptation, audiences expressed concern rather than enthusiasm. The streaming platform's description introduced viewers to Cathy Ames, played by Florence Pugh, as a complex character with a "malformed soul" who commits horrific acts. However, Steinbeck's portrayal of Cathy as an outright villain is accurate. Despite the teaser's fear-mongering, the series maintains Cathy's nefarious nature, and Florence Pugh delivers a chilling performance.
