Very entertaining. Helps heal the wound of no more Big Bang Theory. But sort of unfair. I love Jim Parsons, I do. But he took the jobs away from all the people on BBT. But still retained his Sheldon role. Because he does partisapate in Young Sheldon. So this show is very good, but kind of unfair. Just sour grapes from loosing my favorite series.

Adult Sheldon leaves to much open ground to wonderment about his actual childhood for anyone to not to want to see this... Shame this is not more media friendly... I am sure inquiring minds want to know. About the show, it was set up big... it didn't let down though, the acting was good- on cue and all, and the characters were realistic; except Shelley, but that's where the big set up comes in... Little Shelley was superb with what he had to portray and how... loved it! Thanks for sharing!
