Critic Reviews of "Empire - Season 1"
Ed Bark Uncle BarkyJanuary 07, 2015It roars into view and keeps everything humming throughout its all-important first episode.
Tom Conroy Media LifeJanuary 07, 2015The series' sudsy premise might work if it were matched by more energy in the acting and staging, but the presentation suggests we're supposed to take the action seriously. Most viewers will simply shrug.
Eric Deggans NPRJanuary 07, 2015Empire soars highest when probing the conflicts and contradictions of the black family, making high drama out of the dysfunction lying just beneath the surface.
Linda Holmes NPRJanuary 07, 2015It is sort of hip-hop Nashville, but so what? Why not hip-hop Nashville?
Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-DispatchJanuary 07, 2015With plot to spare, Empire surely has something for everyone.
Andy Greenwald GrantlandJanuary 07, 2015Tense and tawdry, Empire is the rare network drama to know exactly what it is from the jump.
Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore)September 13, 2016One hopes that Daniels and writer Danny Strong, who teamed up on the 2013 civil rights film The Butler, can keep this good stuff coming even as they follow their over-the-top storyline to its sudsy conclusion.
Kari Croop Common Sense MediaDecember 23, 2014Musical melodrama explores family, fame, and homophobia.
Brad Oswald Winnipeg Free PressJanuary 07, 2015Empire's première is a densely packed affair, dealing as it must with character introductions, background details and multiple-storyline establishment, but it handles the job in a smooth and entertaining fashion.
Adrienne Johnson News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)January 07, 2015Empire feels a little dated. It should be breaking new ground and asking new questions, but the pilot, at least, feels unoriginal.
