    I loved the nerdiness of the show but it was more like they were making fun of them instead of laughing with them.

    I totally related to almost all of the culture since I’m a giant nerd

    In my opinion, it’s not as bad as people claim it to be, but It’s far from being great as well.

    I think it was easier to watch when it came out, but from memory I enjoyed it. I remember thinking the show was kinda accurate regarding nerdy references (compared to other movies and series of the time) and I thought it was cool.

    There was something about it I found obnoxious. It was just kind of lazy and, although the cast did a decent job, the writing was meh.

    I binged all seasons and it cracked me up to watch the cast go from eating a ton of food on screen to just gesturing with pickles and working out 😂

    It started out great but ended up just being mostly sex related humour, not science.

    I loved it for the first 3 seasons. Then they turn it into the usual couples sitcom and lost all its appeal.

    I liked the dynamic of having all main characters “fail” in life. Penny failed as an actress, Leonard failed in dating Penny, Howard failed as a playboy, Raj failed talking to women and Sheldon failed at social integration. They were all adorable losers that had fun while losing. For me it kinda was giving a lot of hope, like you don’t have to succeed in life to have a good time.

    Then they made them all winners, they all became rich, and achieve all their goals. And all hope was lost. And the message was “you better succeed in life” which was depressing.

    Nerd humor. I liked it.

    It ain’t no Mike & Molly, though. That show was HILARIOUS, and unapologetically for adults only. Really great show.

    By extension, Young Sheldon features a not at all realistic genius kid, who’s arrogant and having zero clue in socialising, but his attitude is extremely confident. I don’t find the protagonist likable at all.
