Young Sheldon S01e01 1080p Hd Updated Official

The year is 1989. George W. Bush has just become president. And Sheldon has just finished the ninth grade.

The pilot does an excellent job of establishing that this is not just "Sheldon saying smart things." It frames him as a child who genuinely struggles to fit in, rather than just a caricature. The highlight of the episode—and the series—is the relationship between Sheldon and his father, George Sr. The scene where George stands up for Sheldon at the principal's office provides an emotional anchor that gives the show surprising weight. young sheldon s01e01 1080p hd
