I have thoroughly enjoyed this first season. Just finished the season finale and am excited! So many great twists and reveals. Even though it took some time for me to warm up to Empire's story, the recent reveals have me rehashing things in my mind, trying to piece things together. I've read a few blogs to see what conclusions others have drawn. I'm particularly intrigued by Demerzel and have some speculations on her role. I think there's a lot more going on than what we've been shown.
I do think the show started a little slow. We had to get to know the characters and settings before it could get rolling, but once it picked up it was great. I waited every single week for the next episode to come out and jumped on it as soon as I could. I haven't read the books so can't compare it to those. It seems like many people who read them are disappointed with the tv series so I'm actually glad I haven't.
