By the time the finale of season 1 came around last night, everyone was on level THIRST to see what would happen. I recapped the first 2 episodes of Empire when I first watched them and I knew I’d be a fan because as the foolery enthusiast that I am, this was up my alley. Why? Because we all miss having soap operas aka “Stories” to watch and since All My Children ain’t coming back, Cookie Lyon an’ em are the fix we’ve been needing. And the new show is the #1 show on the Big 4 networks, breaking its own rating records week after week. Their soundtrack is currently the #1 music album in the country, beating out Madonna’s latest release. What Lee Daniels’ newest show Empire has managed to do is no small feat.
