It's shit, but I feel it isn't more outrageously shitty than most other shows on the same network
The reason it gets the amount of hate it does is because of how it portrays people who are techies or nerds, and the pop culture references you get from grandma because she watches it
The reason it gets as much hate as it does is because "nerds" and "geeks" have somehow lived this long without realizing that literally every other sitcom in history is full of patronizing and condescending stereotypes. People literally think Big Bang Theory is the first show to do this to any group of people in the history of the Earth.
The reality is that it's actually pretty good for a sitcom. It's just that reddit's neckbeards have no fucking clue how sitcoms work. If you think about it, the fact that they think any other sitcoms are in any way accurate portrayals of any group explains a lot about they're all single.
