Finally able to buy all three series of Young Sheldon at long last after Google whacked up the prices to double of what they were from £18.99 to £32.99 although they have since reduced them back to the previous price point of £18.99 although i only had to pay £18.99 for season 3 as i was able to get seasons 1 & 2 for £7.99 HD for seasons 1 & 2 just waiting for Google to do the same with the Big Bang Theory price point as half of those seasons still priced up at £32.99 HD twice the normal price.

Anxiety free, feel good, loveable tv for BBT fans or not. The characters are relatable, very human and charming, preteen Sheldon is just perfect. The writing is superb, we are always giggling and often in tears at the brilliant storylines.

The best prequel to a funny, complex and interestingly complex character. It is funny and also balances humor with some lesser- but gritty issues of the day.
