The Lee Daniels‘ and Danny Strong series is a “sexy and powerful new drama about the head of a music empire whose three sons and ex-wife all battle for his throne.”

Terrence Howard stars as “Lucious Lyons” and the incomparable Taraji P. Henson steals the show as his no holds barred ex-wife, “Cookie Lyons.” The chemistry between those two is absolutely magical on any screen…big or small.
The premiere of “Empire” gave viewers a lot to digest especially how the show tackles homophobia within the black community. There were a few scenes where I literally cringed and my eyes were on the verge of sweating profusely.

Sidebar: While I am here for “Empire“…I think it totally sucks that FOX would schedule the show to overlap “blackish” and force viewers to choose between the two shows.
Divide and conquer…SMH.
