Eight weeks in a row!

Empire won’t stop growing!

Read our review here!

Usually, the meter tilts more in favor of hot than mess, but not on tonights episode.

When Anika and Andre are the two focal points for an episode, you know were in trouble.

Most of this rests on Andre.

Hes overly cartoonish when Andres in plotting mode and his portrayal of mental illness is a tad shallow.

Byers can yell and flail about as much as he wants, but its just not ringing true.

Still, Andres scenes were supposed to be explosive, but only warranted unintentional laughter from me.

Fellow lame character Anika got too much screen time as well.

As drop dead gorgeous as she is, theres just nothing the writers can do to make Anika interesting.

Come on,Empire!

Youre better than this!

We want less tantrum-throwing Andres and more take a bite, spouting Cookies!
