I was intrigued by “Empire,” thanks to Fox cramming ads for it down our throats. Come on! It looked so wildly over-the-top. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be brilliant or trash TV — I just knew either way I was in. So pressing play on the pilot, I was dubious at best. But good lawd! That wariness was quickly erased with each passing scene, because yes, “Empire” is that good.
It may be touted as a unique family drama set in the world of hip-hop, but it’s so much more. Just like “Nashville” isn’t just about the country ditties, “Empire” brings the heart-wrenching drama, punctuated by some sweet beats (all set to an original soundtrack written and produced by Timbaland) as well as some musical interludes that sound like they’re straight out of “Dallas” — all of which surprisingly works to balance both the sexy edginess and potential cheese factor. But aside from the music, it’s the insight we get into the characters from the get-go that makes us care (and not care) about each and every one of them — in particular, Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) and his ex-wife Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson) will have you salivating for more.
Lucious may be a former thug but when his musical genius emerged back in the day, he went from the streets to the CEO of Empire Entertainment. That all changes when, despite being in his prime, he learns he has three years to live. Now Lucious has to groom one of his three sons into taking over everything he’s worked for — which will undoubtedly come at a cost for a family that’s already all but shattered.
