The first four seasons were hot. They were everything. I remember when empire came out with a bang. Everyone was talking about it. There was nothing like it. Such a powerful story, with great music and a strong family dynamic. The season 4 finale was the best season finale... So good that I think they couldn't come back from it the same. Personally, after season 4,it just fell off and it wasn't the same. Don't get me started on the final season. No, no, no. I know production was cut short because of the Corona outbreak but the finale was underwhelming. It didn't deserve that ending. For a show that started sooooo good to end that way was so sad. Oh well, to the Empire!
