This week's episode of Empire felt like a bit of a throwaway: Cookie and Angelo's latest drama is boring, Jamal still is caught in the same love triangle he's been in all season, and Hakeem is trying to have an epic party. Go to Full Review Ali Barthwell New York Magazine/Vulture 04/06/2017

At first, "Strange Bedfellows" seemed to set up to be an hour of Peak Hakeem - which in my mind is absolutely ideal. But then it took an unexpected turn, in that there was character development! Not that this is a bad thing...just unusual, for Empire. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
