Both pn Netflix and both in Top 10.

Which one should I watch first?

Brooklyn is a very gentle pace, but I loved it.

If it's Brooklyn the film, definitely that, I loved it and I loved the book.

I’m at end start of episode 3 of East of Eden and to be honest, am unsure whether I’ll continue. There’s something dark about it, unpleasant - I’m aware that is part of the story, but it’s not how I want to spend my time.

I loved East of Eden.

Brooklyn is way better

I’ve watched Brooklyn three times and I rarely watch films. I strongly recommend it.

I’ve never seen East of Eden.

East of Eden is not a light, easy watch but it is very, very good. Lee might be one of my favourite TV characters of all time. There is joy in amongst the sorrow. I really rate it.

Brooklyn, great film, also a great book.
