Well....that's me now fully caught up after watching seasons 1, 2 & 3 over the past fortnight! BRILLIANT SERIES! Very pleased I finally decided to give it a go after years of just not watching it! I HIGHLY recommend that you watch this! The music alone is a reason you should watch it! There's a particular song in Season 2 Episode 9 which is just TRULY AMAZING! I won't say anything about it apart from that it is a duet - but when you get to that episode - enjoy! The song / lyrics really is just

This show is everything, I don't understand why people dislike it so much. There's A LOT of drama, yes, and even if you're not a drama lover, once you fall in love with the show you will handle and get it. This show is about family, about love, about music! It's about how this pretty disfuctional family can work through all that it's bad and still be strong as one at the end of the day. You won't see a happy family for sure but I bet Lucious or Cookie or Hakeem, Andre or Jamal will put their

Empire is the most over-hyped TV show. It really isn't any good. Is it any different than Nashville. No it isn't and I don't seeNashville getting this hype like this show does and it shouldn't. Let us realize and understand what great shows are. Shows we all recently know who are all time great shows are Breaking Bad, Games Of Thrones and Mad Men, receive their awards and are well deserved. There were other great shows who get some publicity but should of gotten way more like the recently departed shows in Dexter, The Bridge, and The Killing.A few great shows received awards recently and was well deserved as True Detective and Fargo and The Affair got some buzz and received a best drama award, but not the roar Empire gets. Some of these shows are gone now but Games Of Thrones is still on to enjoy but what about giving some more accolades and raves to these other great shows. The list is numerous with The Americans, Tyrant, Homeland, Penny Dreadful, Masters Of Sex, Davinci Demons, Banshee, The Knick, Shameless, The Leftovers, Masters Of Sex and Ray Donovan.All great shows and all have one thing in common which is they are all cable shows. We know that cable gives us better TV and even Netflix can produce great shows like Orange Is The New Black and House Of Cards but regular TV does has some outstanding shows like the older but goodies in Law And Order SUV and 24. Some really quality TV came the last five years with shows like, Person of Interest (CBS), The Blacklist (NBC), The Good Wife (CBS), Suits (TNT), and the highly acclaimed Hannibal (NBC). Why don't we talk about them like we talk about Empire? We all know why. I call it the Obama affect and liberal Hollywood. So real quality television like these little known shows like Outlander, The Honorable Woman, and Fortitude is no where to be talked about. That is a shame. You see if we are talking about an Empire with great Afro American acting than we should be talking about the recent departing of the wonderful and excellent Boardwalk Empire which shows you what Empire should of gotten the hype and credit it deserved.

This morning I paused to think of what story I read or movie I'd seen that reminded me of the "Empire" television series and damn it if Lee Daniels didn't steal that storyline right from one of my favorite movies of 1968 and of all time; "The Lion in Winter." The movie starred Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn (you must see it and you will know what I'm talking about right down to the three sons and the manipulative queen mother). Without spoiling the film for you, it's a story set in 1183 England about the many machinations that take place over who will be heir to the throne as King Henry II of England entertains his family and King Philip II of France (Timothy Dalton) at his winter castle, Chinon, after he has allowed the queen, who he has temporarily released from prison, to visit for Christmas. Once Christmas is over, the king plans to exile the queen once again to the Tower. The queen must make her move to avoid prison, continued alienation from her sons and to seize what she believes is hers by birth right, the Aquitaine, a grand patch of land, which will restore her to the world of wealth and power. Unfortunately for Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, King Henry II has his own plans for the Aquitaine, plans which will make England more powerful than ever, plans that will make England an "Empire." For either to triumph, Henry and Eleanor must wage an all out war of wits, cunning and deception against each other, using the hopes, ambitions, strengths and weaknesses of their children as their battleground and weaponry. The son chosen as Henry's successor will determine the future and fortune for Eleanor and England.This powerful story also stars Sir Anthony Hopkins in his cinematic film debut as the eldest prince, Richard the Lionheart. The learned viewer will recognize Lee Daniels' homage to the film through the television series' main character's very name, Luscious Lyon. While much is different from the 1968 film, much remains the same and each telling is the richer for it.

Okay, I have to say it: I am not a huge fan of Empire. It's entertaining, it's interesting, it has some pretty good humor, and I liked the casting choices. However, this show is soooo not original, the content is very shallow (meaning no depth), and I find it hard to follow at times.I knew I wasn't going to care about it before it even aired. I saw the promo with Taraji and Terrance, and instantly thought it was an unoriginal "Hustle and Flow" spin-off. Aside from that, it already looked messy. So, I didn't see it when it premiered. Well, my co-workers were praising the show the next day at work like it was the best thing to happen to television. So, yeah, that got my curiosity going. By that time I was aware that Empire in fact was not a Hustle and Flow knock-off. More like an urban "Dynasty", a soap opera, which was one of the inspirations for Empire (Daniels mentioned this himself).I was not impressed by the first episode. In the first scene Lucius is telling a singer to think about her brother who got shot in order to convey more emotion in her singing a song about love and loss. So, right away, I thought that the show was already bordering on too dramatic with the whole "I need you to REALLY bring the pain" dynamic of that scene. Just ask her to remember her first break up and go from there. Gosh. The flashback scenes with the gay son Jamal dressed like a woman were somewhat unrealistic to me because of how they played out. Why did the kid dress that way and then just stand there in front of everyone? What was the point of that? He didn't even pretend like he was modeling the clothes or anything like how you play dress-up. He just stood there and looked stupid. Was he making a statement? Anyway, Lucius throwing his son in the garbage was really traumatic for some viewers and made some people cry. But, I thought it was a bit extreme, and I almost stopped watching after that. I also wasn't too thrilled with the fact that the writer being gay made the gay son the most sympathetic character with hardly any flaws compared to everyone else. Is that really fair? Makes me feel as though Jamal can do no wrong and will always just be a victim and if not him, then any other gay character. On top of that, I can't stand Jamal's weak, shaky singing voice. How are people saying that he sounds so great? I'm not convinced that the writer knows how to write believable black female characters (speaking as a black female). Cookie is loud and obnoxious, which makes for good drama and entertainment. I'm not mad at her being real, and having flaws. However, there are times when I really wish Cookie would stop wearing her feelings on the outside all the damn time. Honestly, there are times when I believe she could be upset or disappointed about something without being so obvious or over-the-top. I wish she could be more cool in certain situations. The way she deals with Lucius' girl, Anika makes her look extra pressed in almost every scene. But, I guess if she toned it down, she would be less "real", so that won't be an option.Lucius is a piece of ****. As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't treat any of his sons right, even his "favorite", Hakeem. What does any of his relationships even mean to him? Seriously. Why is he acting like he can't decide which son should be CEO of Empire? Clearly, it should be mature, business-savvy Andre, but, he leans more towards Hakeem the "star". His struggle with the decision really annoyed me from the very first episode and just convinced me that Lucius was simple as hell. In later episodes it shows that Lucius suddenly doesn't seem to trust Andre. Okay, whatever.When it comes to a show like Empire that combines music with drama, it sometimes feels like I am being forced to listen to music that I don't like. The "You're So Beautiful" track from the show is honestly getting on my nerves. I don't care to hear Cookie or Lucius attempt to sing at times, either. But, that's more of a personal thing, so moving on...I ended up binge watching the first 9 episodes of Empire OnDemand just so that I wouldn't be out of the loop and to give it a fair judgment instead of copping out after the first episode. Afterwards, I was thoroughly convinced that this show is over-rated... but, not horrible. I do think that for this show to be as real and raw as it aspires to be, it would have to be a netflix series or featured on a premium cable channel where it wouldn't be censored. I can give it 4 stars. The writing is very lacking with poorly developed characters and predictable plots. However, it delivers a good cast, and good entertainment (you won't be bored) and some insight into the music industry.

Successful Ratings; a Talented Cast. A Little Overstuffed and Unfocused. (Review by AG732)

See Full Comment

Empire seems to be headed in the right direction, and it's definitely doing something right--all of the episodes so far have INCREASED in viewership ratings. For those who don't know much about TV shows, ratings usually decrease with every episode or stay pretty consistent. Empire debuted to around 9.90 million US viewers, and as of episode 4 has 11.36 million viewers. An increase in live viewers is a rare feat, hard to pull off. Ratings will eventually begin to stop growing, but they will definitely stay high. Fox will not cancel this show anytime soon--it has already been renewed for Season 2! Empire is lifted up, in particular, by the solid acting talent featured on the show. Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson notably contribute to this. However, one of the criticisms I have for the show (so far) is that because of its large cast and scope, it is a bit difficult to give fair attention to certain aspects of the show. I think some characters could have a bit more development, which is why I kind of wish episodes could be longer than 42 minutes (which is every episode's duration minus the commercials). Empire never slows down its dramatic pace, and it keeps you engaged. Empire takes as many compelling story arcs as possible (poverty, crime, LGBT issues, one's legacy and future, family, betrayal, and coming of age) and places them within the show. Arguably, this leads to the plot feeling somewhat overstuffed. The musical family drama has the growing pains of many other dramas before it (featuring some over-the-top acting, stereotypes, and clichés). Certain things on the show require a bit of suspension-of-disbelief (like how do so many people on the show have diseases? Luscious has ALS and Andre, the oldest son, has something as well). Nevertheless, it is always entertaining and captivating to watch. The music doesn't feel contrived or out of place on the show, it feels organic; and I happen to like the music (made by Timbaland). I think "Empire" is heading for good things, but I happened to feel a slight dip in quality with episodes 3 & 4. Maybe it's because Lee Daniels and Danny Strong weren't involved with the latter, but most of my criticisms were due to the two recent episodes. However, I will still stay with the show until the end, and I hope other viewers will too. A look at the struggles artists face within the competitive music industry, talented stars, good music, and compelling drama all make this seem like a "win" for Lee Daniels and Fox. Score: 8.9

See Full Comment

It's somewhat of an interesting show, more over-the-top flash than substance. That's probably why it has the ratings now. I just wonder about its creation.It seems kind of odd that this almost all black show was created by a gay white man (Danny Strong) who then gets Lee Daniels, a gay black man, to help develop a show full of black stereotypes and maybe even some fabrications? I have no qualms with the two of them creating a show, but it just seems like it would have been more authentic if they'd made something that was closer to themselves, like perhaps a show about a black and white interracial homosexual couple and their struggles. Instead, they make this.I understand that Mr. Daniels said this show parallels his childhood, but growing up in a hip hop family really wasn't his childhood. I can only hope that the unbelievable extravagance of dysfunction seen on this show wasn't his childhood too. At least with a show like Game of Thrones, you know that it's all made up and not meant to parallel any reality. I think this show makes the mistake of not making that distinction clear.I was intrigued by the outline of the show, and I wanted to like it, but after watching a few episodes I do not think it represents anything positive. There is quite a lot of colorism. Only the darkest people are "servants," and the lightest are the upper crust. They even manage to have that hierarchy with the Lyon sons, with the lightest (Jamal) being the obvious favorite of the show, the next lightest being the oldest son who's the "smart one" that married and is controlled by his white wife (she literally grabs him by the balls and tells him what to do and he obeys like a child), and then the darkest (Hakeem?) is the youngest son who is bratty, brash, disrespectful, and a wannabe thug. It's also interesting that he's the only of the three sons that seems to like dating his own race, while the "smarter" and more "sensible" brothers don't. It doesn't stop there.The father dumps the faithful black wife (Cookie) he had, a woman who went to prison so he wouldn't have to for seventeen years, even going so far as to divorce her and forget about her and keep the kids away while she was locked up for the sake of their family. She gets out and he's marrying a biracial (black/white) woman who the show portrays as more desirable and better than Cookie. They show Cookie as an annoyance and someone to tolerate because they can't get rid of her because she knows too much. It seems odd to me that the sons don't seem to care too much about her. The only possible positive is that she does end up being the most likable character on the show, though I'm not sure if that's entirely the writing.For anyone not sensitive and knowledgeable about racial issues and contexts relating to racism, I think a lot of this will fly over your head, but subliminally it's being shown every second. They call this show "real," but I doubt that it is. I think they deal with some real issues in some very unreal ways, sometimes even insulting the intelligence (or taking advantage of the lack of intelligence) of their audience. Some of the messages I got were that we're all supposed to love homosexuality (which I have no problem with) and that black people should glorify racism by promoting and practicing colourism against other people of color, not to mention being stereotypes themselves. This is on top of the messages about backstabbing, cheating, killing, robbing, and more. This show may be insanely popular, but it is also highly destructive.

Epic... Empire
