Season 8, Episode 1: Introduction to the Book of Esther
SNL’s Stefon would tell you that The Book of Esther has everything. It has murder, lies, intrigue, adoption, romance, a beauty pageant. It has villains, heroes, and underdogs. And it has a lot of revenge. We start to unpack all of these aspects in this first episode.
