Empire, Empire season 2 review
If there ever was a stretch of episodes on “Empire” that really put the onus on the character of Hakeem, it may be fair to say that we are swimming in it right now! Wednesday night’s new episode was another big showcase for this character, who has ambition for days, but really no fortitude to […]
One of the things that has become very clear over time on “Empire” is that Lucious Lyon is the sort of person who will do anything that he possibly can in order to get what he wants. That means at times exploiting his family, killing people, making threats, and doing a whole lot of other crazy stuff, […]
Hakeem may still be relatively new to the CEO business on “Empire,” but this is a guy who thinks that he has everything figured out … with a strong emphasis on the word “thinks.” We’re not really sure just how much he has learned at all. In the sneak peek below, Becky tries to give […]
It’s really not a good week for network television. For the second straight day, we’re writing what is at its core a rather-sad ratings article talking about substantial drops almost across the board for many primetime shows, and there’s really no excuse for it. There were no Presidential primaries or major sporting events elsewhere; people […]
Does “Empire” not have something in common with “The Vampire Diaries,” “The 100,” and “The Walking Dead”? In some ways, yet — all three of them have killed off a supporting lesbian character over the course of the past couple of months. In some ways, you can argue that logistically, the Fox series getting rid […]
Empire, Empire season 2 review
Sooner or later, the luster was going to come off of “Empire” — and we may now know have a precise date for when it managed to happen. Going into Wednesday’s episode, aspirations were high. We were coming off of a tense confrontation between Lucious Lyon and Hakeem for his betrayal, and eventually Hakeem taking control […]
Tonight, “Empire” season 2 showed some of the early stages of Hakeem as Empire Entertainment CEO, and let’s just say that this is not exactly smooth sailing insofar as starts go. He’s facing some hurdles that he is going to have to overcome (and quickly) if he wants to emerge on the other side in […]
As if this current season of “Empire” was not crazy enough, Hakeem Lyon is quickly proving that he has every bit the same ego that his father does … and maybe then some. In the sneak peek below, you can see the new company CEO choose to unveil a new logo, which we were wondering […]
Throughout the second season of “Empire,” we’ve had a chance to see many an interesting story play out … with at the top of the list being some of the complicated family dynamics for the Lyon clan. Much of the relationship between Lucious and his sons is inspired by the trouble way in which he […]
On Wednesday night’s midseason premiere of “Empire,” there were quite a few different surprises that took place over the course of the hour. We saw Hakeem step into some power at Empire Entertainment after Lucious was dethroned, there was a confrontation between the two like no other, and to cap all of this off, we […]
