Summary
Reviewers say 'Young Sheldon' is appreciated for its family dynamics, character development, and realistic portrayal of a genius child. Strong performances, especially from the supporting cast, and the balance of comedy with heartfelt moments are praised. However, Sheldon's character is criticized for being annoying and self-centered. Mixed opinions exist on the handling of religious themes and comparisons to 'The Big Bang Theory'. Despite criticisms, the Texas setting and character interactions are found engaging and entertaining.
Featured reviews
It took until episode 5 of season 2 for me to realise that this has no laugh track, yet it is much funner than the show it spins off from, The Big Bang Theory. Don't get me wrong I have been watching TBBT from day one and will continue to watch it, but Young Sheldon is much much funnier.
Like another reviewer stated, it must have been a huge chore trying to find a child to play Young Sheldon, but they have done a fantastic job. For me the whole cast does a brilliant job, but my favourite is Montana Jordan as Georgie, closely followed by Annie Potts as his Grandmother and Lance Barber as his dad.
Excellent show and one I look forward to watching each week.

I just finished watching this series, i remember starting it when i was in schooling probably 7th or 8th grade, i used to be excited to watch new episodes every friday and laugh with my stomach as it brings me joy.
Im going to be honest, i never fully watched the big bang theory, but i enjoyed looking at clips of the show in facebook, youtube etc.
Watching them made me happy and brought me laughter. During the first few episodes i never thought that the shows were related and that young sheldon was a prequal. But when i found out i was more than happy.
My Favorite characters were definetly, Connie tucker or Memaw, George cooper, Mary, mandy, missy, sheldon, georgie.
When the show ended it made an imprint on me, i will definetely remember this my whole life.
The show has good characters and amazing comedy, this is definetly a recommendation.
I cried tears when the last few episodes aired, but it was worth it.
Im looking forward to seeing more clips of the show on social media to remind me about the greatness of this show.
I congratulate the show cast and production team, wishing them good luck in upcoming film and TV awards.

While I agree with the criticisms other reviewers have said about young Sheldon , I enjoy the supporting cast very much especially MeeMaw and Georgie . I'm guessing the creators couldn't manage to snag Laurie Metcalf for her iconic role as Mary Cooper , which makes for the very big shoes to fill (her real life daughter does however, do a good job)
.... Anyway , good clean family viewing is very far and few in between so I'm grateful for this show .
A big thank you for all those responsible making this show. Each episode was only 20-minutes long, but watching each guarantees an amazing experience. It left me in deep pondering after finishing the entire series (with my family). It's amazing how a light-hearted comedy can effect such a meaningful impact. I wish there were other shows like this with such high quality, but there was none, there is none. I'm sure that even years from now, there will be none. I'm just glad that I got to experience watching this show and am so thankful to everyone who crafted this 'perfection'. So excited for Georgie & Mandy's upcoming series, even if it ends up half as great this one, it will be better than all the other shows out there.
Sitcoms give me ulcers, yet TBBT is enjoyable despite the detestable canned laughter, hence Young Sheldon is an immediate improvement, though the beauty is more than skin deep. Initially it rides in tandem with its elder sibling, but has blossomed beyond its roots into an independent exploration of family dynamics, tackling everyday issues with empathy and humour.
Iain Armitage and especially Reagan Revord as twins Sheldon & Missy, are fabulous offering sensitivity, scope for growth and comedic opportunity not possible in TBBT.

- TriviaZoe Perry is the real-life daughter of Laurie Metcalf from The Big Bang Theory (2007). Over 20 years earlier, she also played the younger version of her mother in episodes 5.7, Halloween IV (1992) and 7.19, All About Rosey (1995) of Roseanne (1988). Now, she again plays a younger version of her mother's character over 20 years later.
- GoofsSheldon mentioned a few times in "The Big Bang Theory" that Billy Sparks was a bully of his in his youth. Billy Sparks (outside of intentionally scaring him with a chicken in the first episode for his own mild amusement) seems rather cordial with Sheldon in this series when they're together. However, Sheldon is often unreliable when it comes to his past. A great example is how he and Tam drifted apart. Sheldon saw it one way, and Tam took it a different way.
