According to Deadline, the ratings for the most recent episode of “Empire” is pretty much even with the previous episode.
Deadline writes:
Breaking a 3-week ratings decline and seeing its first uptick of its second season, the Lee Daniels and Danny Strong co-created Fox blockbuster was back last night with a 2% rise among adults 18-49 from the final numbers of its October 14 show. Impressive enough against the MLB Playoffs, which have chewed into Empire’s numbers the past few weeks, the series is up 4% fast nationals-to-fast nationals and could see an adjustment later today. Viewershipwise, Empire is even with last week’s 12.2 million.
The hip hop drama was certainly helped by the 8-3 score in the Mets vs. Cubs game and also by its lead-in Rosewood (1.5/5), seeing a 7% bop up in the key demo from last week. All of which puts Fox at the top spot both in the 18-49s with a 3.1/10 rating and total audience of 8.70 million.
Empire is good this season. I think it suffered like any other show that had a phenomenal first season….the numbers are hard to maintain. But the writing had been good and Taraji and Terence have been killing it.
You think the writing has been good sis? I think the first season was much better but I expect things to get good as we get closer to the end of the season.
I do! I think Taraji and Terence have been able to flesh out their characters much more this season, and Andre as well. I’ve enjoyed it a lot more without Naomi for instance.
It’s still boring.
I’m just not feeling it this season.
The writing isn’t as good as it was last season.
I’d be interested to see what the ratings look like next season.
Yes they lost viewers, but the ratings are still very good.
I want them to win but I need for the writing to get back to being good.
