‘Empire’ Ratings Rise But, Fans Bash Latest Episode

Date:

Ratings for Empire finally increase but, fans seem to continue to be disappointed by the hip-hop drama.

According to Deadline, ratings for the latest episode of Empire show an increase of 5% in rating in the key 18 to 49 demographic, while only having 11.2 million viewers. Empire was the mosted TV show on Wednesday night. In fact, “Fox also ranked No. 1 last night with adults 18-34, and teens whose ranks jumped 19% compared with last week.”

But, not everyone enjoyed Empire on Wednesday with many people bashing the TV series for being a giant commercial. Vanity Fair recently wrote a review on Episode 8 saying last night’s plot twist “cold ruin the rest of the season.”

All juicy-sounding stuff, but when all was said and done, I kind of felt about this episode how I did the first time I tried DiGiorno pizza after everyone raved about how it’s not like delivery, and I was like, “Yeah, because it’s not as good.” In short, this episode was not as good as last week’s, but there were some bright spots, so let’s talk about the good and bad, shall we?

Clearly, this show does not know what to do with Anika and this is pretty lame. I’m sorry. I’m not into this story line and I’m really afraid it’s going to ruin the rest of Empire for me.

But, Vanity Fair is not alone. People on Twitter quickly turned to their cell phones and bashed the once popular TV series.

Even though ratings have increased by 5% last week, it is important to note that ratings dropped nearly 30% since the season 2 premiere.
