by

Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Young Sheldon… At just over twenty minutes the makers of Young Sheldon are vastly underestimating the attention span of their audience.

Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 20 Review – ‘A Dog, A Squirrel, and a Fish Named Fish’

by

Martin Carr reviews the twentieth episode of Young Sheldon… Besides the physics lesson and inclusion of Sheldon Cooper phobias, episode twenty is all about adults, young adolescents and religious intervention.
