Will & Grace - AIBU to be so disappointed?

dontquotemeondailymail · 05/01/2018 22:46

I absolutely loved W&G back in the day, and love watching reruns, so I was so excited for the new series tonight... but it was so cringeworthy!

I won't say too much so as not to spoil it, but i just found it so forced.

What did anyone else make of it?

I turned off after 10 mins.

It was just disappointing

Piffpaffpoff · 05/01/2018 22:56

No spoilers so I’ll just say I am hoping they’ve got all they wanted to say about that topic out of the way and from ep2 on we’ll be back to regular comedy

I enjoyed it. It was just Will and Grace....I loved that it revolved around Trump...it was unexpected. I don't remember the show as being topical in that way before. I'll watch next week too.

No no no no no

Just about to catch it on Plus1 so don't say it's awful!!!!!

The rest of the series isn't that topical at all, it's like the old series'.

Choccogoingcuckoo · 05/01/2018 23:09

Did they have a massive bowl of brussel sprouts in the middle of the kitchen table?

BuckysRoboticArm · 05/01/2018 23:12

I completely forgot this was making a comeback!

I just googled and it says channel 5? Is it streaming anywhere?

BuckysRoboticArm · 05/01/2018 23:13

I did just catch a headline that says the reboot already has the go ahead for a second season, so they must have high hopes for it.

Independentstateofeyebrows · 05/01/2018 23:15

I enjoyed it. It was just Will and Grace
This! I refuse to do anything but love it. There was a lot of necessary scene-setting and the rest was daft W&G business as usual. But with a big bowl of sprouts.

LaconicIcon · 05/01/2018 23:17

I thought it was sprouts too

Chocolaterainbows · 05/01/2018 23:17

I used to love this show. But for an 11 year gap it was very disappointing Hmm

MrsWembley · 05/01/2018 23:30

Definitely sprouts! Even DP said "Are those sprouts?" before giving up and heading to bed Grin

Disappointed that they gave up on the last storyline - kind of hoping that an episode or two in and they have a Dallas moment where it's all been a dream and the kids come back, with grandkids to boot!

Otherwise, I was crying with laughter!!GrinGrin

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 05/01/2018 23:32

I'm up to episode 7 i think? The newest one anyway, it's fab. Stick with it!

BuckysRoboticArm · 05/01/2018 23:37

Where are you watching it snip

mintich · 05/01/2018 23:39

I loved it!

EachandEveryone · 06/01/2018 00:21

How come they still look exactly the same?!

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 06/01/2018 00:39

I'm using popcorn time on my phone.. you have to download the episode but perfect quality. Am up to date everything!

furlinedsheepskinjacket · 06/01/2018 00:41

it was great.i thought :)

BuckysRoboticArm · 06/01/2018 01:29

Thanks snip

ChessieFL · 06/01/2018 06:14

I enjoyed it. I was also baffled by the bowl of sprouts and didn’t think any of them had aged at all! I think I would go off it if it continued being political so glad to hear it doesn’t carry on like that. The politics was good for one episode though.

MarkingMyPlace9 · 06/01/2018 07:19

I really enjoyed it, I liked the whole Trump thing. But I was surprised that they did it tbh. But are they serious about neither of them having had Kids!? Wasn’t that what the very last episode was about? And Grace was pregnant for the whole of the last series?? How can they just disregard that???

Bluesue26 · 06/01/2018 10:35

It was awful. Hopefully it will get better

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 06/01/2018 13:22

The most recent episode was just like the old days, trust me. It gets better!

WetPaint4 · 06/01/2018 13:40

I will have to keep watching, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who was like: "what happened to Grace's baby?"
