Review

Jack Seale

A nerdy romp of a comedy, spinning off from megahit The Big Bang Theory: the main protagonist now is ailing comic-book store owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman), who started off as a supporting player in the parent show before growing in influence.

Stuart is quickly a long way away from the indoor comforts of the sitcom format, when he stumbles clumsily into a “multiverse Armageddon”. Warned by an alternate version of himself that he must act to save existence itself, Stuart makes a hash of it in the company of fellow Big Bang alumni Denise (Lauren Lapkus) and Bert (Brian Posehn).

Look out for other Big Bang Theory characters, although they may not be quite as you know them.
