What's it about?

Asides from the singing :joker:

It's about a music empire run by the character Lucious Lyon, who used to be a drug dealer.

I think I've seen some sort of trailer iirc.

It looked quite good.

The guest stars are flawless :love:

Just watched the first episode and was gonna start a thread :laugh:

I dunno my thoughts after the 1st episode. I like the idea and love the characters but I think there's just some problems with the execution of it all. It's definitely got potential.

also #TeamCookie&Jamal obviously

It does have a lot of potential, so I'll keep up with it.

:flutter:

After two episodes, the show's been renewed for a second season! It's doing really well in the ratings.

it's still half-epic half-corny but after How to Get Away with Murder I'm well up for some more messy but entertaining TV.

Love it!!! Cookie for the win

I like the look of this, the show is also actually pulling in ratings for Fox so it's definitely worth checking out.:hugesmile:

There was so many wtf moments in episode 3 I dunno whether to keep watching. I feel like I'd be more invested if it wasn't so black and white because Cookie and Jamal are very likeable and Lucious has pretty much no redeemable character traits. Andre has a lot of potential to be a complex character (in comparison to everyone else being caricatures thus far) but I keep forgetting he exists.

I think I'll give it a couple more episodes but right now I kinda think this show is overhyped.

SHE MAKE THAT THANG GO DRIP DROP DRlP DRIPPITY DROP. :dazzler::dazzler::dazzler:

Drip drop drip drippity drop

these last couple of episodes have been insane. :amazed:

haven't watched this week's yet but it's really picked up, it's been incredible

WATCH lT SLUT.

i haven't had time today :fist:

Jussie Smollett confirms rumours that he's gay to Ellen

The finale airs on Wednesday, this show is too good I can't wait for season 2

HOW am I only seeing this thread, this is my favourite show in the world right now

I would love the plot twist being Lucious giving the whole empire to Jamal

I'm addicted to it. Cookie is incredible
