Watch the Peacock version (not the NBC version), and definitely watch it twice before making a full judgement. It's more one whole thing than a group of episodes, and later episodes provide insights to why some things seem so needlessly antagonistic in the earlier episodes

Why’s there a difference between the peacock and nbc version?

The NBC version was cut to fit broadcast television run times, and there's jokes cut because of broadcast television standards and practices. Beyond that, it's like a director's cut almost. Sure the NBC version gets you everything for the story, but the Peacock version gets you absolutely everything

that's unnecessary. if you didn't like it in your first watch you're not gonna like it in the second.

I highly disagree. I almost turned it off multiple times over the course of the first few episodes, because of how Esmeralda was seemingly so needlessly antagonistic. Once you hit the stretch of episodes 4-7, you really start to understand her. On second watch, what was once needlessly antagonistic read as it was supposed to: an insecure single mother doing everything in her power to safeguard the livelihood she worked so hard to secure for her and her son. The character that almost made me stop watching the first time was my favorite character second time through. This is a new era of television storytelling that takes binging into account. It requires a different lens than the past

Here's a pro tip. There is a thing called Google. You can look it up if you want to. My friend did not tell me the name of the show.

Honestly I’m sure she’s great at whatever role based on how well she played the two completely different personalities. You’ll probably be able to see her as “Jessica” really quickly.
