Review of Pilot

Young Sheldon: Pilot (2017)
Season 1, Episode 1
3/10
Boring and Annoying
30 September 2017
I gave the pilot a chance, given the excellent quality of it's "mothership" The Big Bang Theory, but had my suspicions that it would not live up to it. What give TBBT its appeal are the nerdy characters in awkward situations. It even has lost some of it's shine because it used to be mainly about Leonard and Penny, the awkward guy and the girl out of his league, a situation many of us could relate to. Sadly now it's all about Sheldon, a funny character whose main quality is being annoying.

Now, to make a series completely orbit around an annoying character with an annoying mother, an annoying brother and an annoying sister, without the jokes (didn't see any on the pilot) will result in an annoying series.

Gave it a chance, moving on to Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams, Inhumans, The Orville (excellent by the way), ST Discovery, or Dirk Gently's Hollistic Detective Agency (weird but really fun).
