11 Years Later

The hardest part about watching a show's revival is that it could go either way - on the one hand it could totally suck and spoil the memory of a once great show - on the other hand it could be a fantastic, welcome return of a production that makes superb quality viewing. This is teetering precariously toward the former.

I watched whilst desperately trying to enjoy it, & without any major expectations, but all the while there was this thought in the back of my mind telling me it's had its day.

It is watchable, but despite their best efforts to be modern & up- to-date by including current pop-culture colloquialisms and references, this still felt rather dated.

Hopefully WAG may settle down, find its way and perhaps try not so hard to be so 'woke' in future episodes.

Hey, I'm 60 years old and I grew up with Star Wars. The great shows/movies you mature with you dream of coming back. When Star Wars The Force Awakens came out I was so excited I can't even tell you! I didn't care much for the prequels honestly. And sadly, TFA let me down and too much to much to explain now, but it did. Not because Han dies but other reasons. So we don't always get what we want, yeah?

Then there's Will & Grace. I have enjoyed Will & Grace so far but episode 'Straight and Narrow' had me laughing out loud so much I coughed. Do you know that feeling? And, acknowledging the seriousness of the episode. Why mention Star Wars? When Will & Grace did their political episode on Youtube- I loved it and wanted more! ...and it happened! How cool is that? And as I said I have enjoyed the new series so far but last night's episode was dark, funny, tender and definitely Will & Grace!

Commenters complaining of politics have never seen Will & Grace (maybe Russian Trolls). Will & Grace was a new thing back then, and people whining about fem gays, have no clue because for one- Will isn't, Jack is- that's how it is in real life and I know- I'm Trans. I have known straight and effeminate Gay men and some in between. I'd be known as 'Transsexual' (post op) back when, but now everything is Trans. I'll add I'm not sure making everyone 'Trans' is a good thing. There are so many variations in our community.

Wonderful episode! I have been let down by many a return series/movie but Will & Grace really lives up to it's promise and I Thank You NBC and all the Cast for returning! A Dream Realized!

P.S. After reading the previous reviews I have to say be suspicious. These days you can't trust what you read- even my own words. I will say lastly if you were a fan of Will & Grace you are no doubt happy with it's return. If you are out to create chaos, lie and fabricate false reviews good luck to you. We will see through you and still embrace Jack and Co.

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.

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.

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.
