Teased as the Nashville of the hip-hop and as a black Dynasty – Lee Daniels’ first foray into television, Empire, sounds like a must-see.
Starring Terrence Howard as the patriarch of a music empire, Empire, gives us an immersive look into the hip-hop/R&B industry and the unwelcome family politics that intervene.
Part trashy night-time soap, part glossy musical drama, Empire looks right up our street.
Empire hits FOX in January 2015.
