Empire is filled with misunderstandings, irony, discoveries of secrets and miscommunication that make each episode intriguing and provocative.
Practically every single character on the show has a hidden agenda, except Jamal, and won’t be stopped by anyone or anything.
They have their price and can be bought, it’s just a matter of who offers more at which moment. Like most dramas, Empire touches on homosexuality, homophobia and mental illness to spice things up, while their fearless characters fight to get their way while trying to hide their pressure points from the closest people in their lives.
