The 22-episode second season of Young Sheldon (which also aired concurrently with BBT's final season) aired during the 2018/2019 TV season. It provided more character development for all the main characters, fleshed out storylines for all the characters (even if just for an episode or two), and brought the show solidly into the "dramedy" category with many touching and even sad moments. All the main cast members returned for season 2, and the show expanded the roles of some supporting characters such as Pastor Jeff (played by Matt Hobby) and Veronica Duncan (played by Isabel May). Wallace Shawn's role was greatly expanded (to almost a series regular) and the show added Ed Begley Jr. as a rival to Dr. Sturgis and Mckenna Grace as a recurring rival child genius to Sheldon. I will not go too into storylines, but we did see moments referenced on the BBT (like Sheldon trying to build a nuclear reactor to power the neighborhood), and in the season finale a very touching scene with the BBT characters as children.
The blu-ray set is a two-disc MOD set. It has no extras, just the episodes with English captions (which can be hit-and-miss on MOD sets). So, if you only get the physical discs when there are a lot of extras, then you will probably just want to stream this. Overall, the show continues to be very good, and definitely not a carbon copy of BBT. Ian Armitage continues to make the character of Sheldon his own while doing a great job at giving glimpses of Jim Parson's version of Sheldon, Annie Potts is hilarious, and Regan Revord steals every scene she is in. It is absolutely worth watching, especially if you liked the first season.
