EMPIRE SEASON 3 REVIEW

 

It’s Friday, now let’s talk movies. We have been waiting for months for the intriguing and most anticipated prime time show “Empire” which premiered its first episode of season 3 on Wednesday, picking up from where Empire season 2 left off with Rhonda being the one who fell of the balcony while she and Anika fought at the end of season 2. I think this might have been really tough decisions for the creators of the show owing to the fact that Rhonda and Andre had a strong connection which held the audience glued to their screens for more of their intriguing story. This is such a bittersweet tale, having a bipolar disorder Andre who has already seen worse of it all in previous seasons might have been enough but now having Rhonda appear to him in his hallucinations might drive him to lose focus bringing up a much “disjointed” connective story; my point though.

Let’s take a look at Anika’s story, who just delivered a baby girl. We see her walking around freely and being treated like a queen after Rhonda’s death. I think this gives us an impression that no one gets prosecuted for a crime in Empire’s world. An Empire isn’t built in a day they say – it is built on a jaw dropping, twitter-day moment at a time. Empire is Fox’s biggest blockbuster drama about the Shakespearean dynamics between a family of performers, producers and businesspeople at the pinnacle of a hip-hop record label is, or was, simply very good at being a ritzy prime time soap opera which moved its many story lines along at breakneck speed, careening through multiple shocks and twists in each episodes with little of the plot-prolonging wheel-spinning endemic to the genre.

This season might have a story line which might drive around flash backs with the Lyon’s family having infighting amongst them despite the fact that they are trying to hold their peace together trying to save the empire legacy which is already going down. Cookie seems to be consumed with the fact that Anika has finally taken her place in the family and might stop at nothing until she takes that back.

 

Lucious longtime friend Shyne returns and tries to muscle his way into Empire, his actions – beating Hakeem’s producer in view of a studio full of people in whom he called a mediocre speaks louder than his words.

Tariq the freak seems to have a strong hold on the family as his quest on bringing Lucious down gets a little more intense and with a wired teddy bear Lucious reveals his dirty intent to his stepdaughter to “Wait until we show them how dark hell can get” as federal agents on them; it seems there’s more drama coming from the side of Tariq.

Lastly I want to point on the music score and the songs on this new season owing to the fact that Timabaland who has been the music producer on the show for its previous seasons is now being replaced by songwriter Rodney Jerkins might really not blend well enough to trend like other hits songs; if it does the production might really not have the “Timbaland feel”. But having Birdman and French Montana as guest appearances might have worked quite well for the show runners, let’s hope this new Empire season would be worth the wait.
