It's a disgrace all you haters out there! This is a damn good show and the acting is superb. I hope this show continues for a long time. There is a lot more to write about.

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

A good show gone bad. In the beginning, Cookie was the breakout and deservedly so, but now, in season 3 she is a cartoon. Empire has forgotten the Cardinal Rule of nighttime soaps. That is you have to have at least one character that is good and likable. That never wavers from that good. Here, almost every character is completely deplorable. Too many guest stars mugging for the camera. And all the children of privilege, getting much more than they deserve, and not equal in the talent department. It also past time to turn off that auto-tune machine. It is obvious that Hakeem does not possess the talent of the character and the excessive use of auto-tune in his performances is like painting everyone bright luminous yellow. Jamal is talented, but his distinctive voice and style makes everything sound repetitive and is approaching tiresome. We saw the rise of this Empire, I guess we now get to see the fall.

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.
