This TV Show is wack.


It's turned into an extreme soap opera about a bunch of unlikable characters. Why should we care about these people?? The only likeable character is Andre.

Empire is awful, i'm so over this TV Show, man.

I sorta get what you're saying. Everyone wants a sympathetic character on a show that they can root for and get excited about, but this is a show where you can't do that because they are all so nasty to each other, and their personalities and alliances change with wind. I'm also tired of all the flashbacks.

We still say wack?

No the only likable character at this point is Jamal. Have you watched season 3 Andre has become luscious evil 2.0 clone and not all likable anymore.

Jamal is the likable character??? Yeah you're definitely not watching the same show. All the characters are terrible, they just give him more screen time so you'll buy the singles on iTunes. Fox will shove that queen down your throat so hard you'll either wind up hating all gays or thinking that's how all gays act. That song he did last episode about Lucious was so disrespectful that had it been me I would've tossed his ass in the garbage right there via the window.

This show was so good in 2015 and had so much potential but it's just a mess now. All over the place. It's gotten extremely boring to the point where I have a hard time watching the whole episode without looking at my phone or using my mac. I still tune in in hopes of it getting its spark it had in 2015 but my god this show was unbearably boring and predictable.

Jamal sings nice songs and has a great voice.

I thought the song he sang about Lucious was one of his best. I really liked it. It was more jazzy/classical and I did not find it disrespectful at all.

Lucious was the reason Jamal got shot and with all the terrible things Lucious has said and done to his kids and family, I think Jamal's song nailed it. And don't forget that Lucious became successful because Cookie took the fall for him so he could stay out and make a good life for their family.

Jamal is right. The only reason why Lucious let his woman go to jail for 17 yrs was because he was not man enough to say he did it...LOL!!

Jamal singing about Lucious; 🎵 "you're a cold, cold man..." 🎵🔊

Another good episode and another great song by Jamal.
BTW, I just bought this song on I-tunes...LOL!!

It's a guilty pleasure for many, crosses the racial lines and everything. That's why it's still on, and I agree, it's low quality TV that looks glitzy. Perfect for today! I actually fast forward through most of the songs. There is no character to connect to and root for. But it's supposed to be "campy" TV. Meaning, Lucious is going to get abducted from aliens next season or, Jamal gets a sex change, and they do it all with a straight face! It is what it is, bad acting, average music and all, we....I still watch.

I do want to add, I am embarassed how a super rich (supposedly) family treats each other. No one loves anyone more than themselves on this show. Even with all the money, everyone is all about self. I thought Lucious's wife was going to be the stabilizer for the show. That's all this show needed was ONE character who had a brain and morals. It's a train wreck, which is how the director wants it to be.

Man this show is still good.

I agree. I still watch this. Game of Thrones is the same way. Every time a benevolent character is on there, they get killed off in the most gut wrenching way possible. It takes a REALLY long time for the bad guys to get what's coming to them. But I love GoT big time.

I actually am enjoying this season. I hated season 2, didnt even finish the season because I felt like it was turning into a telemundo but this season is really good. I know some people dislike andre being bad but Im loving seeing him this way. I use to think his character was boring and just needed to be killed off but he is on fiyah this season. Even the actor, Trai who plays andre said he has always wanted to play a character that is bad because its so opposite of who he is in reallife.
