The series gives a wonderful insight to the question all of us had been wondering all through BBT- "how on earth did Sheldon's family survive his childhood!" And so beautifully, they do. I specially liked his Mom's character-fiercely protective, doting on him to the hilt-its truly a special relationship.. And let's not forget his sister. Her eyes speak so much than her words.She's the much required dose of sarcasm in young Sheldon's world. Wonderful writing and an interesting pace..I hope it doesn't lose steam midway..
