The fourth season of Young Sheldon is the first season of the show post-covid lockdown. The first episode is really the third season finale which was not complete by the time production shut down in season three. Then, the rest of the season is really focused on Sheldon's first semester in college. Because the show is set in the early 1990s, they could not directly reference the pandemic (aside from in the cards at the very end of the credits), but they did find a clever way of doing remote learning 1990s style and made a joke about how it would become the wave of the future. While Sheldon is naturally, the focus of the series, the show does a good job giving all of the characters (even some of the supporting characters like Billy and Brenda) substantial story arcs this year. The entire cast does a great job and Iain Armitage, Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Montana Jordan, Raegan Revord, and Annie Potts all had standout moments during the season. The show also featured many of the same recurring and guest stars including Wallace Shawn and McKenna Grace.
For those who get the Blu-Ray, the episodes are divided between two discs, and on the second disc, there is a short feature of the cast having zoom calls with each other during the lockdown. So, not a ton of extras by any means. Overall, the show is very good, with a great cast and good writing. For those who are new to this show and Big Bang Theory, you definitely want to watch BBT first, because Jim Parsons (adult Sheldon) narrates this show and does provide updates to Sheldon's life after BBT which will spoil some of what happens in BBT. But, if you have liked the prior seasons of the show, then this one is definitely worth watching.
