I really can't understand the popularity of this show: African American stereotypes in every possible way, combined with a really unbelievable story line, and a cast of awful actors playing awful characters. I remember a show called Wiseguy, season two "dead dog records story line", well that was more believable. I'm sorry but I think it's wasted time. I admit that some of the songs aren't bad, but that's not enough.

From the very first season, Empire has done nothing but deliver. This show just sucks you in and you cannot help but to be Team Cookie. Taraji had my heart from Baby Boy. As far as I can tell, the role of Cookie was tailored just for her. She has a loyalty about her that you just cannot fake.I love how all of the characters interact. There is a genuine rapport and, if you didn't know any better, you would swear they were all truly related. It's fun to watch and each season gets deeper into what made each character into the "person" they are today.I think the only thing this show is missing is a few Caribbean and AfroPop/AfroBeat artists on the Empire Records lineup. There are so many talented indie artists like Naomi Achu and seasoned artists like Jah Cure, who I would love to see represented.American music, in my opinion, is founded on the generous mix of culture. I hope future seasons of Empire tap into these other genres of music.Hats of to Lee Daniels and his team of writers and producers!LaDana Drigo

Empire is one of the best shows out there and what makes it the best is it's uniqueness out there. Yeah there are a bit of clichés in it but that doesn't prevent it from having a strong plot. And please watch season 2 completely before reviewing it. Plus it got a lot of cool songs too.Empire is one of the best shows out there and what makes it the best is it's uniqueness out there.
