    absolutely adored the first 3 /4's of series one , then it slowly went downhill. The second series is just ridiculous. ranging from ridiculous scenes to poor acting. needless to say i wont be watching it.

    moving right along.. nothing to see here folks. just your stereotypical black tv series with an endless supply of product placements and of course the usual racism constantly being spat upon the viewer. awesome. just what the world needs in 2015... more corporate materialism and segregative race hating. NEXT.

    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.

    Even the bits that backfire--like the ridiculous stunt casting of Chris Rock as a supposedly menacing prison drug lord00rarely diminish the glee with which we ride along on each hairpin curve. [28 Sep - 11 Oct 2015, p.16]

    Empire is cynical and sincere, kidding and not kidding, dumb and smart, and to watch it is to be constantly amazed by what it gets away with.
