There is still quite a bit of work that needs to be done for the Gideon's ESV to be a faithful translation of the Textus Receptus.
Here are examples from just in the gospels...

Jn 1.42 Simon the son of John ) Simon the son of Jonah
Jn 1.49 Nathanael answered him ) Nathanael answered and said to him
Jn 1.51 I say to you, you will see ) I say to you, from now on you will see

Also, the ESV fails in regards to its adoption of gender-neutral gender inclusives where the Greek and Hebrew have male-oriented gender inclusive language (reflected in almost every English translation before the turn of the century). Feminists just HATE that patriarchal language, and for the last 20 years even Bible publishers pander to this.
Another blatant gaff is the ESV's failure to accurately translate "anēr anthropos". Instead of "men and brethren", we just get "brothers". Besides the fact that this is deliberately omitting the word that is so obvious in the Greek (aner), it gives the false impression that the passages in question could be using the word "brothers" in a gender inclusive way.
Ac 1.16; 2.29, 37; 7.2; 13.15, 26, 38; 15.7, 13; 22.1; 23.1, 6; 28.17
My advise is to simply pass on the ESV as your standard text and use the NKJV for your standard in contemporary English.
