Can you see young Sheldon without first seeing the Big Bang theory?

People of a certain conviction often had one to say a controversial relationship with “Big Bang theory” when it was broadcast on CBS. The exaggerated characterization and humor of Chuck Lorre and the comedy series by Bill Prady, which were paired early with his rampant casual sexism, made it an object of contempt in certain online social circles and fandoms. (As far as it affects “community” heads, the Busk'sory was in particular “number one public enemy.) That it was also a beast in the evaluation game.

However, BJ Colangelo from /Film by “The Big Bang Theory” rightly had her list of the five best Lorre shows. I will extend an olive branch out there that love and admit Sheldon Cooper and Friends: “The Business Bang” not complete earn the bad reputation it gets.

Yes, the Hacky Nerd culture jokes of the show can test their patience, and the kindness knows that their male characters can be emotional terrorists. (This is the part in which I give Johnny Galeckis Leonard Hofstadter the Side Eye.) While the series continues, their characters not only develop into better people, but also their relationships with each other also take on larger dimensions and become really lovable. “The Big Bang Theory” even improves and limited in terms of their gender dynamics after Bernadette Rostenkowski (Melissa Rauch) and Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) to part of the central ensemble in-As co-lead Simon made part of the central ensembels as Co-Lace Simon. Helberg would like to tell you.

Ready for another truth bomb? The show's prequel spin-off, “Young Sheldon”, is actually good. It is just as testing a series that spectators who either despise or have never seen “The Big Bang Theory” can enjoy as well as (and maybe even more than) those who have set themselves up for all 12 seasons of adult Sheldon's escapades.

Prequels for older, famous works are equipped with invited expectations, but the best do not have to know that they enable something. This frees the audience to choose with a certain media piece, similar to how many gene Z “Star Wars” fans decided to experience the Skywalker saga for the first time. This is not that Sheldon Cooper and Anakin Skywalker are something similar. (Then again, has Has anyone actually seen these two together in one room?) But as they can enjoy the “Star Wars” prequel trilogy without knowing who little orphan Ani grows in advance, “Young Sheldon” does not watch those who have the foggy idea of ​​what will come for his namesake.

Lorre and Prady, who also showed “Young Sheldon” with Steve Holland every seven seasons, was thankfully not interested in revealing how the “The Big Bang Theory” lead of the same name also collected its various brand accessories. Instead, they made a sitcom – one who is ready to be serious and even moving when the occasion earns – all to the challenges of lifting (or in the case of sheldons deeply different siblings that grow up next to each other), a genius in an environment that is not exactly beneficial to do exactly that. “Young Sheldon” does not paint the Texas background of the 1980s in the Texan background of the 1990s in the most flattering colors. As much as the series “The Wonder Years” up to the adult Sheldon (Jim Parsons, who repeats his role “The Big Bang Theory”), who wistfully tell about his Hijinks in childhood, far away for a past era in history of excessive nostalgic.

If there is one thing you have Do Do not lose from “The Big Bang Theory” before “Young Sheldon”, it is the full context for the scenes in which the younger Sheldon (iain Armitage) either misinterpreted a situation or is not observed in crucial information and how this is observed The behavior of the older counterpart in the parent show of the series. Even in these (relatively rare) cases, however, it was always clear how these events affect Sheldon when he grows up and turns its prospects on the series itself. If at all, these moments actually give “Big Bang theory” more emotional depth, and when it comes to a particularly dramatic RETCON, even a subtle touch of tragedy. It is this kind of nuanced stories that “young Sheldon” makes much more thoughtful than those who “the Banging theory” as “the show in which the nerdy guy” Bazinga writes! “Knows.

“Young Sheldon” is currently fully flogging to max.
