    Possibly the worse episode to date

    I was super disappointed that instead of writing a good episode, they chose to write a political bash fest that just seemed horribly lame or forced. Also, the forced narrative to catch you up on what happened since the last episode was very rough draft. Horrible writing.

    I know the first time back they are going to have to find that groove again, but after watching the first few episodes again after this last night on Hulu it was obvious the cast had more chemistry the first episode they filmed than this.

    If it continues like this, the show won't be on long.

    Great to see them together again!

    As one review said, the humor does feel like they're trying too much at times, but it must have been awkward for them as well to play together after so many years.

    It's been 11 years and everything has changed. I just wanted to say that people shouldn't be so harsh and base opinions regarding the new season solely on one episode. I'm sure that acting, humor and their on-screen chemistry will get more natural over the episodes.

    All in all, good to have them back and I can't wait for more!

    What have they done? This show isn't even remotely funny anymore.

    I'm sorry, this is a sad moment.

    I have watched 3 episodes so far of the new 2017 season, and I'm done.

    I have watched all the other episodes of all the seasons at least 4 times now. The old WAG is my favorite show ever.

    This new one, it's not. The actors are like trying to be an imitation of themselves, the acting, the plot, the jokes, the laughs of the audience, it's so bad I can't even .... please, just horrible.

    Grace looks extremely unlikable, it's like everything is fake about her, even her acting.

    I tried very hard and was ready to laugh very hard, instead I was watching the clock, to see when the suffering would be over...

    I understand people need and want to make money but this is a complete waste, it's so bad. I'm done. Bye WAG, thank you for the old seasons, let me just forget this new 2017 season ever happened.

    Trite and Predictable

    Of course if you are a fan of the series (which I was), then you'll be open to the overuse of political "humor" and Trump bashing as you bask in the glow of the return. But It was a cheap hedge by the writers to use this mechanism to add currency to the show's return. Imagine the potential plot lines available just to give in to the obvious temptation. Too much, too heavy and the times have moved way past the innovative stories from a decade ago. Still love the characters.

    Was this show this bad 11 years ago?

    Was this show this bad 11 years ago? I remember I wasn't a regular viewer but the old show had it's moments.

    The Will and Grace reboot is absolutely painful to watch. Hack jokes that may have been edgy 11 years ago just seem forced, painful and out of time today.

    As we trudge through the heavy handed political commentary, which seems to be the entire point of this episode, you hope for something, anything, that is lighthearted and funny.
