Critic Reviews of "Empire - Season 1"
Whitney Evans TV FanaticMarch 01, 2015Almost all aspects of the pilot work. The characters are engaging (for the most part), the music is terrific and Taraji P. Henson is in it, so it's automatically getting bonus points for that.
Robert Ham Paste MagazineMarch 01, 2015This opening salvo isn't just a mere disappointment; this is the engine stalling and catching fire before it even makes the first lap.
Jackson McHenry Entertainment WeeklyMarch 01, 2015If Cookie and Lucious' pow-wow is the best private moment in the pilot, the party is Empire's best, King Lear-iest public one.
Craig D. Lindsey New York Magazine/VultureMarch 01, 2015From the minute we first see Terrence Howard's Lucious Lyon... we know this sudsy soap-opera is going to get more over-the-top with each passing minute.
Joshua Alston AV ClubMarch 01, 2015It's a good, old-fashioned King Lear set-up, hence the wink, but it has an irresistibly contemporary setting.
