Empire

croemer — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 19:10:32 GMT

This is one of the best written and acted TV series I have ever watched. Anyone else enjoying it?

Yes. We love it.

I have to go back and watch them twice because I don't want to miss any of the little details.

The acting, writing, and music is superb. Cookie and Jamal are so talented.

Sunshine has been watching it too.

Yes...and the singing is outstanding as well. I too watch what I DVR'd and stop and go back so I do not miss anything. I am thrilled with the talent all the way around...top-notch!

This show will definitely be winning awards.

I am liking it so far. It's different, introducing us to some very talented singers and performers. If it gets too "rap," I will then probably stop watching it.

absolutely LOVE it! my favorite new show of the season.

i have been running a thread about it since just before it started. it seems to have mixed reviews on VIEWPOINTS, but i think it is doing very well in the ratings and twitter really comes alive when it is on.

Yes...very true. I find myself missing something and rewind...so happy I DVR the show so I miss nothing.

I heard it was the highest rated new show.

Cookie's story line is going to be interesting. I can't wait to see who they want her to testify against.

Yes...this should be very interesting. I am amazed at the status of the actors they were able to hire on for the show...the scripts must have been the draw. I bet this show will take many...many awards.

ITA. Now we finally know why Tariji P. Henson was killed off in Person of Interest. She was obviously tapped for this series.

I watched two episodes back to back over the weekend and love this show! Fox is really pushing the envelope with situations and dialogue for a broadcast network. One of the best things I've seen on tv in a long time.

Agree with your points and this is one of the best things I have seen on TV as well.

I feel so all alone. Am I the only one who could not sit through the first hour?

this is one of the best shows on tv right now!!!

terrence and taraji are two of the best actors and it is clear to see why the ratings are soooo high!!! the network gave the go for season 2 after the second episode!
