/Refers to Seasons 1-6 in a sequence/
Although I have rather enjoyed The Big Bang Theory, I tend to exercise caution when spin-offs/prequels come into existence as they are often airy-fairy or just less interesting due to the events-performers you have got used to... But from the 1st episode of Young Sheldon it became evident that it is not the case here. Iain Armitage is a wow! Child actor (how could he remember and convincingly present so scientific stuff!) and all the others are also strongly up to their task - although not too familiar to me (well, later, after some Internet search, I think I can remember "the Old Guard" (e.g. Annie Potts, Craig T. Nelson) from their performances decades ago).
Anyhow, Young Sheldon is not just a coming-of-age story of a child genius, but involves a lot to ponder on and over, e.g. How to raise a distinct child in the family of many children, to what extent his or her peculiarity should be tolerated and/or encouraged, what is the share of obtaining knowledge and friends in a school, what is the role and impact of religion and sports, can old men and young children be pals - to name a few.
And last but not least - many "bold" topics are approached in a pleasant manner seen less and less in the contemporary world - without hiding or attempts to "shoot a messenger". I think that a family series is ridiculous where young generation starts to have sex/drink/smoke and talk about these topics when they are adults...
