A brave attempt by
NBC to push back
TV boundaries by making a
comedy series with no
jokes in it.
The
set-up is this: Will is a homosexual gay
male that fancies men. He moves in with Grace, who is straight and therefore finds men attractive, like her gay flatmate Will, who is a homosexual. Homosexual Will, who is a gay queer with a prediliction for males, is gay. Like most gays, Will is not attracted to women. Rather, he is attracted to men.
Will, who is gay, has a
friend named Jack, who is also gay. The two of them are not lovers, even though Will likes the cock, because he's gay. Jack, the other gay, is flamboyantly homosexual, unlike his
friend Will, who is very reserved and deadpan. And gay.
Each episode revolves around the characters commenting on how gay Will (and to a lesser extent, because it's so obvious) Jack are. That's it. Oh, Grace might have a subplot that Will can resolve with his powers of queerosity. And Jack's wretched fag
hag might turn up, but only so they can both make a point of staring at men's arses, because Jack's gay and she's not, BUT THEY BOTH FUCK MEN.
It's won awards. Seriously.
In summary: Gay.
