For 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper it isn't easy growing up in East Texas. Being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn't always helpful in a land where church and football are king. And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naïve Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him. His father, George, is struggling to find his way as a high school football coach and as father to a boy he doesn't understand. Sheldon's mother, Mary, fiercely protects and nurtures her son in a town where he just doesn't fit in. Sheldon's older brother, Georgie, does the best he can in high school, but it's tough to be cool when you're in the same classes with your odd 9-year-old brother. Finally, there's Sheldon's twin sister, Missy, who sometimes resents all the attention Sheldon gets, but also remains the one person who can reliably tell Sheldon the truth. For 10 years on The Big Bang Theory, audiences have come to know the iconic, eccentric and extraordinary Sheldon Cooper. This comedy series gives us the chance to meet him in childhood, as he embarks on his innocent, awkward and hopeful journey toward the man he will become. (HBO Europe)

Young Sheldon (2017)
I can’t deny the fact that the creators of Big Bang Theory worked hard to depict Sheldon’s family as accurately and as specifically as it’s been described in the original show. The same goes for young Sheldon who has exactly the same face as the original actor, only some 20 years younger. I have to admit that as far as the jokes go, the show isn’t that disappointing. Some episodes were actually more boring than cringy, but that can happen with these sorts of shows. This well-done look at the turn of the 1990s gets solid four stars and a recognition that a similar sitcom hasn’t been this well-casted in a long time.
