Empire was hugely hyped over here. Every ad break promoting it, breakfast TV fawning over it, a cast member a day on TV every morning even after the series had finished. That fair put me off, that and having watched one episode with my stepdaughter realized it was predictable, simplistic, dull with stereotypical character throughout.
Nae my cup of tea, but if you like it, fair play. I doubt everyone likes what I like.
