    Empire is back for Season 2, and it's just as good as it was in Season 1. So ... it's not particularly good at all. Just because it's a soap opera doesn't excuse bad writing. And 13 episodes into Empire, the plots are already repetitive and--quite frankly--boring.

They subtly tackle worldwide issues but also look into the little everyday issues that can affect a family, especially once money is involved. While I am not a big Terrance Howard fan, the rest of the acting crew is absolutely amazing. the musical original scores are definitely the best of any show on tv. Full Review »

The plot has turned a little bit crazy and all, but all the characters are still great. Full Review »
