So far through its first season, “Empire” has done some pretty tremendous stuff! It has created a musical world that actually feels legitimate for one, and that is no easy challenge for a network drama. This show manages to tell an authentic story without the censorship freedoms that you get on cable. That’s rare these […]
Tonight’s new episode of “Empire” was certainly stuffed to the brim with content and surprises, from Anika and Lucious moving forward a potential wedding date to recording drama to Cookie proving once again that she may be the best TV character of 2015. (Seriously, someone give Taraji P. Henson an Emmy nomination already.) Next week, […]
There is no series out there quite like “Empire” at the moment, and there is no other series that the majority of famous people would want to be a part of. The show’s ratings are through the roof, you have an eclectic cast, and you probably are going to have a chance to do something […]
One of the luxuries of having an enormously successful show is rather simple: Almost anyone any everyone is interested in coming aboard at some point. For “Empire,” all you have to do is look at the guest cast for proof that things are going well: The upcoming March 11 episode “Sins of the Father” contains […]
When we were talking about the ratings for “The Walking Dead” earlier this week, we commented that ultimately, the only even decent threat to the show’s ratings domination was “Empire” on Fox. Even still, we didn’t take it that seriously, given that the numbers were not necessarily that close. Well, maybe we should start looking […]
What lies ahead on “Empire”? First things first, the crazy thing here is that we really don’t have that many more new episodes this season. The Fox show was only given a short order for its first season, which we wonder if the network regrets now that it has become this runaway smash hit. If […]
Sooner or later, you would have to think that Lucious would have a breaking point on “Empire.” The man is going through a lot, and while may of his struggles for the most part are self-inflicted, not all of them are. Ultimately, what we have with this character is a situation coming where we will […]
You may know already that Cookie and Anika are going to show down on next week’s new episode of “Empire,” but why don’t we take a moment to look a little further down the road today? We’re talking about “The Lyon’s Roar” here, which is the eighth episode of the show airing on Wednesday, February […]
Who knew that we were going to see “Empire” really forge what is a literal empire for Fox? It is completely surprising, but also very cool to watch unfold. Regardless of whether or not you like this particular show, we are excited that a network TV show actually is generating this sort of buzz and […]
This has been a pretty interesting past few months for Courtney Love on TV. We previously saw her in a guest appearance on “Sons of Anarchy” as a teacher, and tonight, she joined “Empire” in a role that was certainly very different from anything that she has played as of late. She was a struggling […]
