TV show description:
This musical dramatic series revolves around a family that’s at the center of a hip hop music empire.

A former drug dealer, Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) is the CEO of Empire Entertainment, a hugely successful music company. His life is turned upside down when he learns that he has ALS and must now choose one of his three sons as his successor.

Eldest son Andre (Trai Bryers) is Wharton-educated, power-hungry, and married to manipulative Rhonda (Kaitlin Doubleday).

Middle child Jamal (Jussie Smollett) is a talented gay singer-songwriter who’s long been seen as the black sheep of the family and despises the corporate side of the music industry.

Fame-obsessed Hakeem (Bryshere Gray, aka Yazz The Greatest) is a fame-obsessed rising hip hop artist, the baby of the clan, and his father’s favorite.

Complicating matters is the boys’ mother and Lucious’ ex-wife, Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), who emerges from prison to claim her share of the empire. She helped build the company with Lucious and then took the fall for running drugs that helped finance his early career.

Other characters include Anika Calhoun (Grace Gealey), head of Empire Entertainment A&R and Lucious’ love interest; Vernon Turner (Malik Yoba), Lucious’ longtime friend and business partner; and Becky Williams (Gabourey Sidibe), Lucious’ executive assistant.

I have watch this show from the start but something is not the same this season. It does not have that wow factor. Hope it gets better. I love the music, and guess star singers it’s just something is missing. The writers need to get it on.

I like the show but, it is not the greatest. Cookie is great but, she gives an excellent performance in any program she appears and the main reason I look at the show. I like the talent of the 2nd son and his beautiful smile, excellent actor, nice moves. Terence Howard is great. I cannot stand the young son and his attitude he reminds me of so many people in our society who walk around screaming demands but unable to sit at the table for a discussion/solution and, has little talent. His arrogance is sickening. The story line of the… Read more »

Empire is one of the best TV shows on TV for the last two seasons and I surely hope it won’t be cancelled. I love the actors, scenes and music. It’s intriguing, as well as forceful on what the music industry is really about.
