I just cannot ...I think Empire is SO stereotypical. I just cannot handle watching it anymore. I watched the first couple of episodes. It's just a soap through and through. It's all about shock. The slang, the violence, the sex; it just seems unnecessary to me. I don't mind those things when they serve the plot. Hell, sometimes I encourage them. There's just too much. It's just way too over the top to me. And it makes "some" black people (and I'm Black) seem so absurd and uneducated. It's like all Black people are stereotypical rappers or something. I don't know, maybe it has changed. I just am shocked it has completely dominated in the ratings. I do think it is entertaining. I do think it challenges some conceptions, although it mainly plays to stereotypes people find funny. I do like the music. I just can't enjoy it really. I wanted to like it...Like I said I don't think it's without merit. I just wish they showed different types of characters on the show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
