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

Just watched the first episode and was gonna start a thread

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.

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

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.

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

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.
