Young Sheldon Season 6 Finale Review: Big Bang Theory Prequel Plays It Safe
If there’s any doubt, the Young Sheldon season 6 finale proves that The Big Bang Theory prequel isn’t Sheldon’s show anymore. Premiering in 2017, the spin-off of the nerd-centric sitcom was greenlit in an effort to further capitalize on The Big Bang Theory‘s popularity. As its title suggests, Young Sheldon delves into Sheldon’s childhood in Texas. It mines inspiration from the genius’ penchant for sharing all kinds of anecdotes from his time living with his family. Providing context and backstory to some of Sheldon’s most bizarre preferences and behaviors, its ties to the extremely popular The Big Bang Theory helped it establish itself. Four years since its parent series ended, however, Young Sheldon has clearly outgrown its prequel roots, and the season 6 finale crystallizes that.
