The thing I really hate about the #TV series #Empire is the whole celebratory one-upmanship of it all.
And by series 4 I'm really starting to hate the show.
Generally, it's been a fun show where literally everyone is bad, but since everyone is bad, it's hard to feel a sense of victory when one character wins over another.
They're virtually all murderers or kidnappers or something and you're supposed to celebrate the Lyons winning.
It's starting to annoy me.

I really liked Andre and when he was going to kill Lucious I was into that. But then suddenly they're friends again.
Then the Dubois came and I was really into them, but no, they have to be outdone by the Lyons.
And a lot of the time, it's the Lyons that actually start the conflicts.

There's been a lot of celebratory one-upmanship:
Annika being stopped when trying to poach Tiana; The part when the Demi Moore character loses influence on Lucious and it's all "Bye! You can go now!"; And when the Lyons quite improbably hijack the Dubois' ball and start telling everyone about the Dubois' crimes as if the Lyons are fucking saints!
The hypocrisy alone is sickening.
