This series focus on hip hop music and entertainment company, Empire Entertainment, and the drama about a family dynasty that follows the head of a music empire whose three sons and ex-wife all battle for his throne. A music mogul plans for the future of his empire after learning he has a disease in the series premiere of this drama, which follows his struggle to choose an heir as his three sons and his ex-wife battle each other to take over the hip-hop throne.
The way Empire constantly keeps the gas pedal of its Maybach floored is what makes the ride so fun, of course; it's like a show for people who find themselves checking their watches during Scandal.
Over the course of two hours, Empire proved it was more interested in spectacle than in coherence, and that, in some sense, it's all the better for it.
So much of it seemed fresh, from the pulsing music to Cookie's swagger to Jamal's gay-pride crooning - which helped make Jussie Smollett the show's other breakout star.
