Critics Consensus
Young Sheldon's appealing cast and relatable themes bring a fresh -- and overall enjoyable -- perspective to its central character's familiar story.
Justin Burke The Australian It has got a lot of heart, and plenty of laughs. Mar 23, 2018 Full Review Catherine Gee Daily Telegraph (UK) What we have instead is a warm-hearted, coming-of-age tale in the style of The Wonder Years. But without a Parsons-level comic talent among the cast, this series will live or die based on whether the writers can create characters worth falling for. Rated: 3/5 Feb 23, 2018 Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian Young Sheldon the character might be genius offspring, Young Sheldon the show, not yet. Could do better. Rated: 2/5 Feb 23, 2018 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof A halo of nostalgia and family drama permeates the series, and the mix is surprising. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 9, 2019 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) As with the adult Sheldon, there are just enough outbreaks of sweetness to make you love him, despite everything. Jun 29, 2018 Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) Thankfully shorn of laughter track, it will surprise some with its (relative) delicacy, its long, nice, un-busy single-camera shots, at stark odds with its frenetic parent show.

Naqeeb G Guess what, I finished the season 1 in May-June 2024, but my phone broke on 3 oct, 2024. And After that many months, I, Ofcourse, Forgot the whole Season 1. I bought a new phone on 4 oct. And I restarted the Season 1 on Oct-Nov, today's December. I (since I have restarted the series) am currently on S1, E11. This is a worth to watch with your family. This is a great show about a 9 years old who is a high-school genius, and is really inspiring. Punchlines are also filled with comedy. I mean like, It has 30% profanity, and the rest is family friendly. I mean like, ofcourse. It's also pretty great, with everything you expect. Also filled with emotional scenes. Definitely a 5/5. Definitely would Recommend it. If you didn't watch this, you DON'T have a great childhood. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Maricris B My comfort show, I've rewatched it 3 times and i think of rewatching it more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Eva B Intresting but not the funniest. Great cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Nick S Charming, different and surprisingly watchable considering I didn't care for BBT at all. Much more substantial than the original. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Pedro H This is a masterpiece, perfect, absolutely perfect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Audience Member Season 1 shows a lot of potential, with likeable characters and induces a charming nostalgia for the 90s, even for one who was not born in Texas. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
