Recently,
the channel FOX got huge success on the TV drama show. This success was
possible due to the show called ‘Empire’. This show is unique since it deals
with the hip-hop music industry and the betrayal and ambition in it. This show
tells about the family life who work in the hip-hop industry field and there
has been some tensions among family members because all members are interested
in taking this ‘Empire’ as theirs.
The
rating on this show was rapidly increased and viewers give about 8.2 points out
of 10 on this show[2].
Also, on the iTunes, the songs that were used in the show are hit on the chart.
How does this situation so-called ‘booming of the hit show’ happen? As far as I
can tell, there are mainly three reasons this show gets more popular.
[3]The
first factor is the perfect casting. Especially, the main characters are played
by Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson who are most talented African-American
actor and actress each. They are full of acting experiences. Other actors or
actresses are also kind of rookie compared to Terrence and Taraji. However,
their charisma and passion on the show is delivered during on-air. Most
importantly, all people are perfectly describing their own characters in the
way the characters are well understood. Plus, there are some famous cameos like
Jennifer Hudson and Naomi Campbell make this show glamorous.
The second
factor is amazing songs. ‘No Apologies’, ‘What Is Love’, ‘Drip Drop’ and
‘You’re So Beautiful’ etc. have been bringing hot reaction from the viewers. The
songs sound fun or sad and the beat of hip-hop music makes people excited.
Various types of songs and perfectly fitted songs to the story are one of the
keys of Empire’ success.
The
third factor is twisted story-line itself. There is no typical characters in
this show. All characters are changing their position as the show goes and
there are bunch of betrayal between the family members. Since this story is not
ridiculous and unrealistic, more people get into it.
If you
look for this factors when you watch the TV show, ‘Empire’ is not going to let
you down. Rather, this show would let you enthusiastic on it. If you are wondering
about this show, just watch it and feel it! You are not going to regret it!
