Empire has built a devoted following in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Hulu among viewers who want their romance taken seriously. 6 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 757 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. The chemistry Terrence Howard brings to it is the real engine here. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Disney Plus.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Empire earns its spot. Empire treats its central relationship as something worth taking seriously. A powerful family drama about the head of a music empire whose three sons and ex-wife all battle for his throne. Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson lead a cast whose chemistry carries the emotional beats. It ran for 6 seasons (2015–2020), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What makes Empire work is that the leads feel like people first, a couple second. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Romance fans and drama viewers alike will find something to love in Empire. The tonal similarities to Days of Our Lives are real, though Empire carves out its own identity quickly. At 6 seasons, this is a genuine commitment — one that pays off. Terrence Howard's performance makes the emotional stakes feel real, not manufactured. Worth watching alone or with someone who shares your taste.

Empire wrapped up in 2020, created by Danny Strong and Lee Daniels — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
