Empire, Empire season 2 review
“Empire” is a fantastically entertaining series, but for some of the characters, we can imagine that there would be one word to describe their experience: Suffocating. They want to make a name for themselves, and want to find a way to shine through the rubble that surrounds them. Unfortunately, they all suffer in their own […]
Wednesday night’s new episode of “Empire” was a lot about the music, the music business, and about the business that comes with leaking your music online. Suffice it to say, it was crazy. If you love it when the show mixes things up and takes the story in unexpected directions, you probably enjoyed “Without a […]
The premiere of “Empire” last week ended with Cookie Lyon in a most unfortunate position: Realizing that she was not going to get what she wanted with the company. Empire Entertainment is no doubt valuable, but the truth here remains that without Lucious, it’s just not the same. He is the face and the name […]
Given the ratings that “Empire” drew at the end of its first season, it was not that difficult to draw an assumption that for season 2, Cookie and company would continue to rule the TV throne. The question was mostly just how dominant they would be. For Wednesday, the Fox drama did draw an enormous […]
Empire, Empire season 2 review
For almost the entire summer, one of the largest questions when it comes to “Empire” was whether or not the show was going to be able to capture the magic, the buzz, and the drama that we saw from the first season. It is a show with cheesy moments, but somehow there are still ways […]
For a good percentage of “Empire’s” season 2 premiere on Wednesday night, we started to assume that maybe Cookie Lyon was going to really get one over on Lucious behind bars. Thanks to Mimi Whiteman, the new and uber-rich mogul played by Marisa Tomei, the entire plan to take over the company went completely kaput. […]
Over the past few weeks, we have given Jimmy Fallon a little bit of flack for some of his weaknesses as a host. Now it’s time to give the guy a little bit of praise. What the host of “The Tonight Show” does better than any other host on TV is come up with random […]
We that Lucious and Cookie Lyon are two of the flashier characters on “Empire” to discuss, and therefore, we have spent the majority of our time over the past several weeks discussing these two characters more so than any other. However, there are clearly some other people who are hugely important to the show, and […]
The second season of “Empire” has so far been built around one simple presence, and as per usual, Lucious Lyon is front and center for it. With him behind bars, is it possible that the business can still function and flourish? Or, is it possible that things start to fall apart completely? We are not […]
There are so many different guest stars coming to “Empire,” sometimes it can be hard to remember all of them who are appearing. For example, we’ve got Kelly Rowland, Lenny Kravitz, Mariah Carey, Chris Rock, and so many more stopping by for at least one episode. Given that it was a breakout show of the […]
