Fox have scored a touchdown with their freshman series 'Empire'. The Lee Daniels directed drama, which stars Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson, premiered last night and delivered mega ratings. Its first episode was watched by a whopping 9.8 million viewers. The figure puts the series in the same ratings bracket as some of today's top shows, including popular Afro-American led titles such as 'Scandal' and 'How To Get Away With Murder'.

Everyone is talking about it.

Let me catch a stream and see what all the hype is about.

Originally posted by gueranegra I wanted to watch this but missed it . Is there a youtube link or something I can try watching it on?

Just watched the premiere.

This show is everything. Perfect for discussion on a site like ATRL.

Can't wait for more.
