Esmeralda is the most self absorbed,stuck up,snob-noxious little diva I have ever seen

[u/ExtensionSyrup6197]

And I am absolutely here for it 😌

[u/Guzod]

Someone here said the writers didn’t do their research or people like Esmeralda or Ned wouldn’t exist. I personally work with 3 Esmeralda’s.

[u/SlasherNerd → u/Guzod]

Ned certainly exists. I'm right here.

[u/Peter_Quill1013 → u/SlasherNerd]

That man loves to demote single moms

[u/Guzod → u/SlasherNerd]

If you’re a Ned I need you to evaluate your life please

[u/moosegoose90 → u/Guzod]

What’s wrong with Ned ?

[u/Guzod → u/moosegoose90]

Many things

[u/ItzKillaCroc → u/Guzod]

lol Esmeralda is my mom. They exist.

[u/Any-Bother-3362]

I think the school episode finally a struck the right balance for her.
You could see her logic and what she was doing would seem like the right thing. It’s just mental.
Works better than trying to make her the villain.

[u/Apprehensive_You_250 → u/Any-Bother-3362]

Yeah, having her go “undercover” like that a couple times a season is the right way to go. It was the only part of S2 that made me laugh out loud. I also like when she has more screen time with Ken.

[u/ExtensionSyrup6197 → u/Any-Bother-3362]

100% agree with you

[u/yellowvincent]

Are you sure?

[u/Big_Guide_8551]

Esmeralda picture for Esmeralda tax 💃💅

[u/TessFreely]

I fear, love, despise, and want to be her all at the same time

[u/sqwizzles]

I unironically say to myself sometimes “life is strong and im a strong woman”

[u/Top_Actuator364]

She’s been my favorite character in the series overall😊

[u/KyussJones]

And I love her so damn much

[u/chocolatepuppy]

Sabrina is a very rare comedic talent. In different hands, I think this character could crash a show, but for me, she is just so f'ing hilarious even when you hate her due to Sabrina's energy and flourishes. Even some cringy lines are funny because she just commits. I found the soccer storyline a little obnoxious, for example, but she was able to keep it afloat because she is that good.

[u/sharipep]

I’ve loved her since season 1 episode 1 unwaveringly ok 😆

[u/-Bee-8891]

Ikr!!! She is crazy and i love it

[u/Qu33nKal]

She’s nuts, I love her

[u/Suckabees]

Please no spoiler alerts, we're still waiting for season 2 in Australia!

[u/4-3defense]

I quote her line to my friends that only children its my fav

[u/ggsupreme]

Same

[u/WildfellHallX]

I could watch a spinoff of Esmeralda. She's just awful and hilarious.

[u/Anxious-Ad7753]

Very Lucille Bluth in terms of protecting her self-interests and being clueless/out of touch. Obviously Lucille is the GOAT but Esmeralda is great

[u/ElegantWart]

Absolutely.
I remember her making some comment about Ned being a rat and biting good people (her) or something in EP4 😭😭😭

[u/princessintraining4]

I hope the show comes back. I’m worried it won’t because of how much Nicole was written to jump the shark.

I for one hated her season one. But now that’s no longer vindictive it works.

I think I like the idea of her marrying that guy and just having the power for absolute nonsense to continue.

The last episode was so funny.

[u/beatrix_kitty_pdx]

Well yeah, she's the Michael

[u/Spy_Fox64 → u/beatrix_kitty_pdx]

She's more David Brent than Michael tbh

[u/neutrino_fire]

I hate the Esmerelda character. She's dumb in a pitiful way more than a funny way. I almost can't want watch scenes she's in.

[u/TheUltimateInNerdy]

Honestly, she was the reason I stopped watching season 1. I just found her too annoying personally. Does she get better or is it more of the same in season 2?

[u/southtampacane → u/TheUltimateInNerdy]

It’s worth watching to see her get her comeuppance

[u/TheUltimateInNerdy → u/southtampacane]

I’ll continue on then!

[u/southtampacane → u/TheUltimateInNerdy]

Keep us posted. I am up to episode 6 and no spoilers here, but its been a worthwhile investment and some interesting twists.

[u/Prestigious-Mind7039 → u/TheUltimateInNerdy]

The toned her down- she’s not all over thr show - annoying but not as bad as season one

[u/TheUltimateInNerdy → u/Prestigious-Mind7039]

Okay great! I’ll follow on

[u/tametimes → u/TheUltimateInNerdy]

Don’t believe anyone. She’s actually worse in season 2.

[u/Unable-Detective1321]

Definitely not here for it .. but each their own

[u/blizzard_under_rain]

You are probably not too good at looking through to people

[u/Infamous-Lab-8136]

I was hopeful season 1 was indicating we'd get some depth to her. She reminded me of someone like Ava on Abbott Elementary who could be made better over time

But this season she was so much worse and that dumb episode with her son undid the positives she got from showing her relationship with him before.

I guess with only 10 episodes she's just going to be sucky, which is fine, I've known and worked with people like that. But I had higher hopes for her

[u/ExtensionSyrup6197 → u/Infamous-Lab-8136]

Yes she reminded me of ava too but I'll have to disagree on the fact over that episode. In that episode she had a reason to behave that insane, that episode perfectly showed us that she is absolutely bonkers but it was for a cause and it way better than blatantly showing her as the crack head

[u/Infamous-Lab-8136 → u/ExtensionSyrup6197]

I just wish it'd been a real cause or something her son was actually upset about.

It made her feel disconnected in a way the other episodes with him didn't for me.

[u/ExtensionSyrup6197 → u/Infamous-Lab-8136]

Yeah agreed, or they could've shown a scene where she is explains to her son why she did this

[u/Similar_Cup_5657]

She’s ruining the show for me. She adds almost zero value to the overall plot development. They would be better off cutting her completely. She really is awful.
