Young Sheldon

The vibe: Wholesome, gently funny, and nostalgic with a brainy twist

If you haven’t had the time yet to watch Young Sheldon, it follows nine-year-old Sheldon Cooper as he grows up in small-town East Texas, years before becoming the famously eccentric physicist we meet in The Big Bang Theory. As Sheldon navigates high school with a brain wired for quantum theory, his down-to-earth family balances faith, football, finances and the daily reality of raising a child genius who corrects his teachers. Expect a warm, family-focused comedy about growing up different, finding your place, and loving each other even when you don’t quite understand each other. Warning: You may find yourself going to watch The Big Bang Theory for the tenth time from start to finish.

Love The Office?

A documentary crew focuses its cameras on the volunteer reporters and quirky staff as they squabble, pitch stories, chase scoops and wrestle with the clash between integrity and survival in a world of clickbait and shrinking readership.
