Empire!

Well, Happy New Years All!

I know it's been a minute and the last time I shared I mentioned how all the good shows that cast mainly African Americas/Blacks were canceled. Well, since then has risen a new show with a primarily all Black yet diverse cast Empire....


Empire has a star-studded mixed cast, Terrance Howard, Taraji P. Henson, Malik Yoba, and Gabourey Sidibe to mention the least and to me, maybe thats why the show is so captivating! Lee Daniels knew exactly what he was doing when he chose his cast and guest stars, such as Naomi Campbell and Cuba GoodingJr. :.* 

This new drama series circles around Lucious Lyon, Cookie Lyon, and their three sons. One son is gay, the other one is a rapper, and the oldest who's married to a Caucasian woman. Out of the three sons, one will either Take or be Left Lucious Music Empire. The catch is Lucious has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and given only three years to live, but only a couple of people know (at least for right now) and it's not Cookie or his son's.

 Now to me because of their well acted out Big screen rolls, which displayed so much on-camera chemistry in "Hustle & Flow" it just seems so right watching Terrance Howard and Taraji in their new primetime t.v. roll's, and did you know Timbaland is the songwriter and song producer for the show?!


Overall I've watched the first three episodes and I must say I didn't like the part in the first episode that dissed the President, but other than that I'm kind of interested in seeing how it all plays out.  Lucious has three years to live, so the network may have been given a three-season contract for now, but we'll just have to wait and see ;.p
