Empire

In all the years I've used IMDB, I probably reviewed one or two shows or movies. Since the final season of Empire leaves us with a cliffhanger, it did hint during the final episodes what was going to happen to Lucious. Whatever remains of the plot will, in our imagination, go on without having to see it. Too bad so many low rated reviews were at the beginning of the reviews. I do not care for rap music, but I became immersed in this series because of the plot, the talent of the actors and the words of the music that related to their lives. It was easier to understand because I was involved in the characters. I'm 78 years old and a big, big fan of Classic Movies. Although I would never give this series a classic recommendation, my taste in talent and appreciation of music and good acting leaves me open to all kinds of entertainment. I was particularly sorry to see Jussie go, since he was the balance between the characters, but they made it work. This was worth my time. I know from a TV interview that Howard wants to stop being someone else and go on living a normal life. He's really a good actor and I remember him from "CRASH" and loved him in that movie.

Willing to give every show a fair shake and don't wish to speak ill of the show's achievements to date.

However, at present there is a cast member who could potentially be allowed to stay on;l a cast member that willingly and knowingly attempted to stir up racial violence via fake hate hoax, simply to fuel his communist degenerate narcissism.

This review should serve as a warning to Empire's producers - do the right thing.

I had to stop watching after the first season because the show promotes the worst stereotypes of the african-american community.

The first season of Empire was entertaining ... now it is just silly/stupid - no longer worth watching. The characters have become too extreme. Racist portrayals are disturbing. For a family that supposedly is close, there is far too much back stabbing and maneuvering - especially since they are portrayed as being hoodlum-like. One expects more character elimination and less soap opera drama. Without major improvements, I don't expect Empire to last much longer. BORING AND TEDIOUS.

Pure garbage with terrible acting and writing. The absolute stereotyping is appalling and if that's not enough to turn you off, I've got one name for you - Jussie Smollett
