Excellent, even bombastic return! It's still incendiary, driving, fun, but now there are also different locations and new lines. The prison plot of Lucius is still a little sagging and looks somewhat comical, even the ending was not particularly surprised, the king is king everywhere, and this king does not take cold blood. And Cookies are still above all praise! Ku(ki)ngcongiha and "You can't even give normally" were especially pleased, and what a bang :D And how good, energetic and incendiary is the song performed in support of Lucius! And special gueststars. And setups. And a lot more. I've been through the whole episode.
And by the way, the golden poster for the second season with lions is just a sight. The power and grace of the Lyon couple in all its glory.
a great start to the season, although Chris Rock in the role of authority certainly made me laugh. I noticed a blunder: when Cookie comes to visit Lucius in prison, he is bald and immediately when he went to deal with Chris Rock, he already has a bad head of hair, at least 0.9mm.
We're back great. I especially liked them: 1. Cookie in a King Kong costume. 2. Hakim, epicly riding out on a segway after the rest of the "gang". 3. "You can't even give a normal one." 4. Lucius's video greeting. 5. The denouement of the story with Frankie. And the song is a reference to last year's events, or did it seem to me?
Great return. I was very glad to see Chris, I'm a fan of his) All the good things have already been highlighted. I'll highlight the bad. Although this does not apply in any way to the quality of the episode or the actors, who are just great. Rather, I want to speak about the character. Jamal was incredibly annoying in this episode. Even more than Lucius, which seemed impossible to me, and not only because the sight of Lucius almost shakes me every time, but also because Jamal at the beginning of the series oh, how I liked him. Jamal's attitude towards Cookie was simply amazing... Boy, this woman has always supported you the way you are, unlike you know who. And now you're making a scene here like some kind of bitch. I'm trying to understand him, but I can't. How did such a good kind person turn into this nervous and inadequately prioritizing person? Is this what the government does to people?
@maxxxxxa4: Cookie, due to the fact that her poor girl was not put at the head of the company, was immediately ready to take everything away from Jamal, whom, as you say, she allegedly supported, I think after such a knife in the back, how Jamal behaved is completely normal, imho
@SayOcean: Uhm... Actually, no. they left him his share, but they wanted to deprive Lucius of it. in general, his behavior is illogical. when you have two parents, one of them has always loved you, the other has always been ashamed of you, then you are supposed to trust the first parent. and when this parent tells you that it has nothing to do with you, that your other parent is a real freak (which you yourself have always known) and this is a showdown only with him - you have to believe. in the end, it turned out that way. and they were supposed to own the Empire all together. well, except for Lucius) and Jamal seems to have been blown away even when his father pretended for his own benefit that he had some respect for him and left him an Empire. In my opinion, Lucius was guided by who would be the easiest to control. having played on the lack of paternal love and Jamal's essentially kind (and therefore forgiving) character, his candidacy was chosen. Jamal appreciated it as a huge gesture. I can explain all this, but I don't understand how you can prefer your mother and your brother Haakim (I can't say anything about Andre), who have been your friends all your life, to your father, who only does what manipulates people, and you do it for the time being I saw everything perfectly.
@maxxxxxa4: I'm not excusing Jamal in any way, I just crossed my fingers for him every time in the previous season, he was the second favorite Persian after Cookie... but it can also be partly understood. yes, cookie and Hakim have always (or almost always) been there, supported, etc., but this makes such a "stab in the back" even more palpable and painful, because Jamal did not expect that they, probably the two closest people, could pull this off behind his back without telling him anything. He told Cookie himself that Lucius at least looked at his face when he put him in that tank. who knows, if they had calmly explained everything to him, explained, the situation would not have taken such a dramatic turn. In addition, it is worth considering that Jamal has been going out of his way all his life to impress his father, earn his love and respect, and having acquired what he has long craved, he does not quite think clearly. and yes, the government always spoils people, even decent ones like Jamal (and he was the most understanding and decent and humane in their family, in my opinion). moreover, the guy's whole life, like dreams, is going to hell, his brothers are lashing out at him for any reason, things are also not going well on the love front (bring Ryan back!!!), there is no time for music, everything is hanging on him, and at such a moment Jamal still finds out about such a setup from the whole families, especially Cookie and Hakim, realizing that he is alone, he cannot rely on anyone, he cannot trust anyone. so give the guy a break for the first time... he'll move away, think about it, get over it and everything will get better... but in general, give this damn empire to someone else and return the kind and understanding Jamal to us... We don't need another Lucius!
A cool series, especially some moments I liked the most, for example when Lucius beat Cookie, and how he dealt with Chris Rock's character in prison, well, the end of the series 😮
Эх, как-то печально за Джамалла, за то, что с ним сделала "Империя". Самый мой любимый персонаж же тут был. И мне жаль, что Брайана больше не будет, очень колоритный чувак и у них с Джамаллом прям искрило. А старый его бойфренд какой-то... не такой hot и вообще. Но больше всего на самом деле жаль Джамалла - ни тебе музыку пописать, ни тебе нормальные отношения сохранить с семьей. Особенно мне жаль дружбы между Хаакимом и Джамаллом. Такие же классные братские отношения были! =(
Потрясающие начало сезона! Люциус воистину шикарен в этой серии, тоже думал, что Крис Рок задержится подольше, сцена с Куки и Джамалом конечно же немного шокировала.

if they press on the Negro/geo problems, they will definitely knock out the Golden Globe and Emmy nominations
1. Cookie in a King Kong costume.
2. Hakim, epicly riding out on a segway after the rest of the "gang".
3. "You can't even give a normal one."
4. Lucius's video greeting.
5. The denouement of the story with Frankie.

And I'm not very happy about the return of his BF somehow I wanted a new line for Ja
