I live in a pretty diverse area and TBH... I don’t know one white person (adult or teen) that watches Empire. I thought it was pretty much a black viewed tv show. Not making a rude comment but I just figured that the majority of white folks watch some shows and black folks watch others.
I wonder if there isn’t another aspect to kill it from the inside since one of the actors spoke out against the gay PC they’re instilling in the show....
I work for the fed gov in Wash, DC... EVERYBODY here talks about that show. They’re all atwitter.
I have never watched it to tell you the truth. I watched “Scandal” and “How to get away with Murder”, but I grew tired quickly of the “black” mystique, not to mention the prevalent homosexuality.
Sorry, folks. In Hollywood's eyes, queer > black.
watched about 3 minutes of one show to see what all the hopla was about.
*puke*
not interested.
BBC used to make some good period films, but I don't know if they still make anything worth seeing. I've been meaning to check out The Last Kingdom, and if anyone has seen it let me know how it is (and if it diverges from Cornwell's awesome novels in any but the most minor of ways, I don't to see a second of it).
Sophomore slump.
They are so high on their supposed genius that they start phoning it in for season 2 because they think they got the magic formula for perpetual ratings success. I’ll bet that many of the actors and writers are too busy going to parties, giving interviews, fielding offers for other projects to notice that they just recycled all of the stuff from season one.
It might also be that shows that rise to high ratings in their first season puts the fear of the almighty (read that as the studio bigwigs) in the minds of the producers and writers, making them too afraid to monkey too much with the winning “formula”, potentially endangering the ratings, but ending up producing a boring program anyway that is too safe that turns off their 1st season viewers.
Well it is still doing a million times better then the closest show. NCIS is gotten pathetic ratings this year. Actually everything has except Empire, The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family but even they are falling.
I watched part of one episode, determined it to be filth, and never watched any more of it. I don’t watch shows about faggots.
I have watched all of a minute of ‘Black-ish’ only to hear about how white people have used the n word so much that now only blacks can, and will use it while whitey can’t. Next time flipping through, I heard the same black guy angrily state how white man sold black people, conveniently leaving out blacks and muslims role in slave trading.
Never again will I sully my screen or mind with that dung.
Haven't watched it, other than long enough to see the direction is was aimed, won't watch because I have better things to do...such as sitting on this forum and trashing crappy TV shows that I don't watch.
Another shark-jumper program seems to be The Walking Dead. Aside from repetition (Rick and his pack go to a new place, a black cast member dies, everything goes to hell, zombies attack, Rick and pack scram, repeat..), the show has grown increasingly fascist over the past season or so, with the non-regulars all segmented into unfit “untermenschen” who deserve to get eaten.
