In our second episode, we're taking an in-depth look at "Esteemsters," the official Daria pilot! When the Morgendorffer family moves to Lawndale, Daria finds herself in her new high school's self-esteem class. Thankfully, she also finds herself a new partner-in-crime. It's our introduction to the bizarre and interesting cast of characters we'll be dissecting over the next five seasons—but how does it fare as a pilot? Join us as we take a beat-by-beat look at the episode, and the self-esteem movement that gave rise to media like Esteemsters in the mid-to-late '90s. We'll also be reviewing how the concept of such a movement is handled in the context of the show, debating whether the episode's better or worse than the unaired pilot we discussed in our first episode, and much, much more!
