Not even bad in a good way

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Seasons one to three were good. I mean its not the best show out there but it WAS standing out until lead actor lost his balls with his memory. What the **** is this? This show was gangsta with a bit of gayness. Now its full retard. There is no main story. I cant get through an episode without turning it off and trying again later. I have the same issue with Gotham. It started strong and then they added more characters that no one cares about. I would understand if those characters were interesting but to be honest? Im just annoyed by them.

The only reason this is not a 10 out of 10 is because sometimes the music performed by the characters is a bit much and does not add to the episode. The haters who leave these reviews need to relax. Crying about the show not being realistic is ridiculous. Its a damn television show, go sit in the park if you want to watch reality. "Reality" TV isn't even realistic. The casting was fantastic. Even though some characters get on my last nerve each one is played perfectly. I am obsessed with Cookie Lyon. Although she is out of her mind, it is fantastic to see a strong powerful woman who does nothing but fight for what she wants, even if it means burning everything around her. Although I said the amount of music incorporated can be a bit much it is a great sound track. The first song the middle son Jamal does, even though the origin of the lyrics it has caused a frenzy in these reviews, I had to download it immediately. This show is addicting and the newer seasons are just as good as the first. I think we can all agree that if you do not like a show and are up in arms over the context then do not watch it. Do not "give it a few more episodes" there is enough TV shows on Netflix and Hulu to find something you will enjoy.

Don't expect to learn any from the music world, this is only a stupid collection of unreal stereotypes.Same about families. Real life are very different.Awful, predictable, uninteresting...Really annoying.

I can see now why I pulled the plug 6 years ago on cable and satellite TV. I have quit watching Empire just based on the Fox network's viewing schedule. These clowns like the rest of the networks start a show for a few episodes then it's gone for 2 weeks or more than it comes back. This show started with 8 episodes and hasn't been seen since the first week of December. I don't even know what was going on in this show anymore. It is supposed to come back this week but I'm no longer wasting my time with it anymore.For Fox and the rest of the loser networks you start a show then finish it. Don't just throw some other garbage show in the same time slot for 2-3 months. Then expect us to come back to the show we were watching. Hollywood has gone in the toilet. Just a matter of time before we all just push the flush lever for good.
