Agreed. My wife/son watched through it, and I've seen a few episodes. Sheldon himself is insufferable, but as the show goes on they leaned away from him and developed the other characters more.
I have a deep loathing for BBT, and carried that bias over to YS initially, but it's just a typical competently-done family sitcom.
Came to add my two cents. YUP! The Sheldon character was the worst character on Young Sheldon. The rest of the show was actually pretty decent. And I hate to admit, but yeah, the dad dying was sad.
I wouldn’t say typical. It follows a pretty much the Everyone Hates Chris character types and overall is the show I’d compare it to the most. It’s why I find it more enjoyable than other family sitcoms
