The Big Bang Theory season 1 is a bad pick for spoken English
To sell the nerd vibe the lines pack in obscure words
plus research jargon, complex sentences, and uncommon slang
I actually started from season 12
and the first impression surprised me
The sentences and wording are simple and everyday
So if you want to learn English, start later in the show
That also explains why I couldn't like it as a student
Too opaque, not beginner-friendly
Another feeling:
the nerd culture season 1 showed starting in 2007
I hadn't even finished elementary school then
Twenty years later it still mirrors patterns in me
especially the episodes around women
Funny and a little sad
Classic work describes real human nature and human patterns
Nothing new under the sun, as they say
