    As a wrestling fan, this just ticks all the boxes for me. Nostalgia, humor, wrestling, The Rock! But the star so far is teenage Rock. It reminds me of the better episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

    Even though the series surely fictionalizes events that inspired him, these glimpses into the seeds of the Rock’s act are intriguing and often fun.

    The ambitious Young Rock jumps around in these timelines, the storytelling hampered by the smug framing device of the adult Johnson running for president. [1-14 Mar 2021, p.9]

    People struggling to wrap their arms around initial episodes of "Young Rock" may find a reason to stick around in the show's outstanding crew of actors impersonating such '80s-era wrestling legends as Ric Flair and Iron Sheik. That much the show nails straightaway.
