And judging by both of their tailoring, I guess Jack is the more hung of the hanging fruits. Find me one district that’s liberal enough to elect a gay representative, but also conservative enough to not believe in climate science.) Both of these stories leave us plenty of political opportunity to pluck the lowest-hanging fruit. with Jack to visit Steve Sandoval, a hunky gay congressman who wants to roll back environmental protections. The plot of “11 Years Later” is that Karen, a close friend of Melania’s, gets Grace a job decorating the Oval Office. Or even before it, judging by the Trump-centric election episode of Will & Grace launched last year. From stem to stern, this episode is like one long exhale for the pent-up liberals who have been glued to outrage Twitter and mainlining Rachel Maddow since the election. Yes, there are more Trump jokes on this show than at a Bernie Sanders family reunion. We’ll never have an answer for that, but we do know what the writers of this show have had on their minds for the past 11 years: Donald Trump.
Is it to cover a vampire bite? Did she get a chemical peel that hadn’t fully healed yet? Is this an homage to all of the awful scarves that she had to wear on Smash? While we’re talking about the opening, I would be remiss if I did not mention Jack’s dated sweater-vest and the unexplainable scarf that Grace is wearing around her neck. Will & Grace Is Back and It’s Like It Never Left But I guess gays these days just follow Nico Tortorella on Instagram and call it a day.
The funny thing is, it looks like an excerpt from the A&F Quarterly from 2006. The only notable addition is a photograph of a headless male torso perched over Will’s dining-room table. The apartment looks like it was preserved in amber. It’s shocking how little has changed or been updated for this new season. Karen is still rich, inappropriate, married to Stan, and willing to grab a boob just to get a laugh. There we have it: Will and Grace are once again living together, single and childless. “11 Years Later” easily elides over it all using the Bobby Ewing strategy, where a character wakes up and reveals that everything that happened previously was just a dream. Since we’re squarely in those decades where they shouldn’t have been talking, that fact poses quite a bit of a problem to the show’s very existence.
In it, we learned that Will and Grace have a huge fight and spend decades not talking to each other until their kids meet and fall in love in college and bring them back together again. Some of those jokes Karen makes after she wakes up from her dream won’t even make sense unless people remember that final episode from 11 years ago. They soothe a disoriented Karen just like they soothe the audience, by letting us know that everything is the same.
#New will and grace season 1 series#
In fact, the first several minutes spend more time erasing the disastrous history of the series finale from 2006 than they do reintroducing the characters or telling us what has been up in the meantime. And, you know, spending the weekend getting jiggy with a gay Secret Service officer.īut other than that, nothing has really changed with this new Will & Grace. Luckily, he makes up for it by doing his best Kylie Jenner duck-lips face for a new profile picture before the teaser is even over. Nothing makes Jack look like a middle-aged homosexual more than his app-based sex-negativity and online slut-shaming. Welcome to the Will & Grace of 2017, where there is a Caitlyn Jenner joke in the first 30 seconds and a Grindr-is-gross joke in the first minute.
