Young Sheldon

It’s easy to forgive this character, as he’s still young and has much to learn about the universe. He’s aware of his intelligence but seems to think he’s superior. Thankfully, his tantrums are entertaining as he reacts in the least childlike way, unlike the adults that surround him in the later episodes. I love Missy, she’s cute and sassy while retaining a bit of her brother’s intelligence, and I love their relationship together. There’s also  a bit of suspense over George as we know that he’s not around in Sheldon’s later life so we never know when he’s going to go. It’s a bit shocked that we see Mee-Maw as a sassy troublemaker since Sheldon describes her so fondly in his later years, though there’s a hint of mischief about her when she meets Amy. Then there’s Professor Sturgis who’s a bit overdramatic and childlike in his way which explains why he gets on so well with Sheldon, though there’s little mention of him in Sheldon’s adult life. There’s also some great pop references to the culture of the time, so the researchers have done their job well. There’s not too much comedy here, but there’s enough going on to make you want to find out what happens to the characters.
