Fans of The Big Bang Theory can now indulge in a full marathon of its spin-off, Young Sheldon.
The prequel series, which aired on CBS from September 2017 through May 2024, traces the early years of The Big Bang Theory’s genius Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), with his younger version played by Iain Armitage.
Set in the 1980s, the show provides a look into Sheldon’s formative years. Nearly a year after the final episode aired, the much-anticipated seventh season has finally dropped on Netflix for subscribers to stream.
In this concluding season, viewers follow Sheldon as he navigates life in Germany during a summer program, facing the unfamiliar challenge of being at the bottom of his class.
The season also brings a poignant storyline as the Cooper family deals with a devastating loss, pushing Sheldon to confront complex emotions, reports the Mirror US.
As fans have eagerly consumed the last season, acclaim has poured in, with many hailing it as a ‘classic’ and praising its blend of humor and touching moments.
One fan expressed their enthusiasm on Rotten Tomatoes, saying: “Young Sheldon Season 7 perfectly balances heartfelt moments with laugh-out-loud comedy, leaving you crying and laughing at the same time.
“An emotional and unforgettable ending to what has been a truly classic series of storytelling for generations to come.”
Another viewer shared their unexpected delight with the show, admitting: “A friend recommended this and I went in fully expecting to hate it. Much to my surprise, that didn’t happen. Young Sheldon has no right to be as charming as it is.”
On social media, a fan highlighted the unique blend of genres in the spin-off, stating: “Whoever decided to make Young Sheldon half comedy, half family drama did the right thing.
“It’s not a sitcom like Big Bang, it’s actually really good and has a lot of heart; especially when they focus on the rest of the family like his older brother.”
The seventh season of Young Sheldon has received rave reviews, with a flawless 100 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an impressive audience score of 86 percent.
Young Sheldon is streaming now on Netflix.
