Ratings for Fox’s Empire hits a season low point as fewer people care about the Lyon dynasty.
Empire has gone a long way from being the most watched new TV series. Now, Fox is struggling to find an audience as the TV series hits a season low point. According to Variety, the Fox drama Empire, may have won the battle for Wednesday night ratings, but the Cookie drama is starting to lose the war for viewers.
“Empire” averaged a 4.2 rating/13 share in adults 18-49 and 11.1 million viewers overall, down 9% (0.4) from last week in the demo to its lowest rating since the second episode of its rookie season. It still ruled its timeslot, drawing about as many young adults as the combined tallies of the timeslot’s No. 2 (ABC) and No. 3 (NBC) rated networks. Leadoff hitter “Rosewood” (1.4/5 in 18-49, 5.2 million viewers overall) was down just a tenth and matched its low.
Ouch.
Things don’t seem to look like they are going to get better for the TV series. According to Rotten Tomatoes, Season 2 Episode 6, “A High Hope for a Low Heaven” is the worst rated TV show ever on the review website. Currently, the episode is reviewed to a D rating of 69%. The critic consesus calls the show “”A High Hope for a Low Heaven” contains many jaw-dropping plot twists, but fails to bring its kidnapping cliffhanger to a satisfying resolution. Season 2 episode 7, is already getting bad reviews with Rolling Stone saying, “To properly enjoy the episode, you have to look for subtler pleasures – well, alright, “subtler” isn’t the right word for anything on this show, but you get the point.”
But, Rolling Stone is not alone. Just check out a few reviews from Twitter:

I’m giving #Empire one more episode & if it doesn’t get better, I’m done with it. This season is super boring. Too stretched. @EmpireFOX

Hopefully, things will change for the once ground breaking TV series. Especially, if there are plans for an Empire spinoff, Star.
