Empire is succeeding at the game it's playing, and if that's our criteria, then yes, it's a good show.
September 22, 2015
The three episodes FOX sent to critics are impressively well-balanced, not to mention coherent by Empire standards.

"Empire" rules, bigger and badder than ever.
September 23, 2015
The show's sophomore season improves on the first in its sense of scope.
September 25, 2015
If the premiere is any indication, we can look forward to the usual Empire fare: sexual intrigue, LGBTQ issues, fabulous wardrobe, slick pop tunes and rap hits, and - of course - a seemingly endless succession of double and triple crossings.

The elements that made Empire a sensation last season have not dimmed.
September 20, 2015
Simultaneously refined and deliciously pulpy, Fox's mega-hit Empire roars back to life in its second year, with all the brand-specific viciousness and gasp-earning twists fans have come to expect from the Lyons.
September 22, 2015
The first season of the wildly popular Fox dramarama was soapy in all the right ways, but, like the best soaps, teetered between being, like, the greatest and a big mess. This season walks the same precarious path.
September 24, 2015
The charisma of Henson's performance, which is not scenery-chewing so much as world-conquering, and co-creator Lee Daniels' devotion to the honest detail, however nasty, profane, or politically incorrect, are what make Empire feel so fun and so authentic.
September 23, 2015
Empire remains a soap with no pretensions beyond the suds. But there's something melancholy, and forlorn, in its heart: Reach the mountaintop, and the view is still lousy, and worse, everyone wants to push you off.
