The Hollywood Reporter
There's a lot to like in Empire, particularly the ambitious scope of the story.

Refinery29
The hip-hop saga, which at its core is a King Lear tale about the head of a music corporation and his need to appoint one of his three sons to replace him after he's gone, has accomplished the improbable feat of increasing in ratings week after week.

Variety
Despite an impressive ensemble headlined by Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson, the show feels perfunctory, as if subplots were chosen from a preordained serialized-TV checklist.

IMDb
The show is full of great original music, but what grips you is the twisted family dynamic, vicious behaviour from the various characters and many other dark elements in amongst the entertainment industry plot.

Rotten Tomatoes
It's the show we didn't know we needed: A nighttime soap about the music industry that gets the details right about hip hop and R&B.
