Series six yet again follows Will (gay laywer), Grace (single interior designer), Jack (gay out of work actor) and Karen (drunk!) through their hilarious antics in NYC.
This series is extremely funny and in some ways does live up to the high standards set by previous series. However, series five is a very hard act to follow and I think everyone involved in the program knew that.
The main problem with this series is that it doesn't have any huge plots to focus on. Series five had Grace's marriage, Karen's divorce and Will and Grace's attempts to have a baby to centre around but this season just feels like a series of unrelated episodes.
That's not to say they're not hugely entertaining and just as funny as one has come to expect, but Will and Grace has always carried off the ongoing plotlines with flair.
The series kicks off with Will and Jack convinced they had a nigth of drunken passion aboard Karen's yacht after Stanley's (her husband) memorial service. This plot might have had some mileage but it wasn't taken advantage of.
The majority of the series is based around Grace's marriage to Leo (a very handsome doctor played by Harry Connick Jr) and the trials and tribulations that face them. He decides to fly off to Cambodia to join 'Doctors without Borders' and Grace finds this very hard to deal with. She ends up flying out to be with him which inevitably goes pear shaped.
Towards the end of the series Grace disappears. This is to cope with Debra Messing's (the actress who plays Grace) real-life pregnancy. I think this might be what is to blame for the lack of substance to this series.
The upshot is that I wasn't enthralled with this season. I can usually watch a series around five times before I get a little bored (sad I know...) but this one has remained on my shelf since the first viewing.
If you're up for some light-hearted giggles, this series is perfect but don't expect to be caught up in the twists and turns of each character's life - there really aren't many.
