The series centers around a hip hop music and entertainment company, Empire Entertainment, and the drama among the members of the founders' family as they fight for control of the company. In Season 2, knowing Lucious won’t be held much longer in prison, Cookie and her allies within the Lyon family make a desperate attempt to seize control of the company.
What is this I see before me? Complex-character moments? Continued storylines? Logical plot development?... This is what I want from Empire. It wasn't perfect, but hot damn, it was good.
Events from this episode may payoff next week (Hakeem and Freda rap battle!), but even if they do, it can't erase the strangeness of the Lucious/Mimi plot.
Empire is throwing everything at the wall this season, and it might have better results if it would let its characters breathe a little, and maybe enjoy the moment just a little bit.
I had high hopes that this season would prove to Empire's haters that the show had more to offer than just music and melodrama. After these last two episodes, I'm starting to lose faith that it does.
