Hey Netflix subscribers, what are your thoughts on Eden of Eden thus far?
If you’ve been tuning in on mobile devices — maybe even on your Apple Watch, dare we say — then forget we asked. That’s the takeaway from creator Zoe Kazan‘s speech at a recent screening.
Zazan, 43, who is also an acclaimed actress known for hits such as The Big Sick, adapted John Steinbeck‘s renowned novel of the same name to a small-screen effort that’s now available on Netflix.
But industry folk only say “small screen” because it’s TV versus cinema. Netflix viewers should embrace the Florence Pugh-led project on larger formats, Kazan emphasized earlier this month.
“I know that we made this for the small screen. But please, please, please, dear god, when you go home, do not watch the rest of this on your phone, or on your Apple Watch,” the writer told the crowd, per the recent TikTok upload below. Audience members can be heard laughing in the background — probably because that’s the sad world we live in.

Zoe Kazan’s Surprising Family Connection to the 1955 Film
Fun fact: Zoe is the granddaughter of Elia Kazan, the director of the 1955 film of the same name starring James Dean.
Elia, who is best known for directing Death of a Salesman and A Streetcar Named Desire, was a good friend of Steinbeck when he directed the first adaptation of the iconic novel. In fact, Elia’s name appears in journals Steinbeck kept while writing East of Eden.
In an interview with New York Magazine, Zoe revealed that she first read the 1952 novel when she was just 15 and immediately felt a sense of ownership over the story. Find out more here.
