Empire aslen Shakespeare'in Kral Lear eseri üzerine inşa edilmiş bir hikaye örgüsüne sahip. Müzikal drama olarak işlenen öykü, Amerikan HipHop kültüründeki kitsch tonlarla kontrast oluşturduğu için ortaya biraz dağınık fakat dikkat çekici bir sonuç çıkmış. Üstelik dizinin müzikal yönü; Madonna, Destiny's Child, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z ve daha pek çok ünlü sanatçı için hitler besteleyen Timbaland'a emanet edildiği için, taş gibi bir soundtrack'e sahip. Yapım; Altın Küre'den AFI'e kadar pek çok mecrada, "En İyi TV Dizisi" başlıkları da dahil olmak üzere 50'den fazla ödüle aday gösterildi. Terrence Howard'ın diri performansı ve Taraji P. Henson'ın Altın Küre ile taçlandırarak çizdiği sıradışı karakteri diziyi sürüklerken; Alicia Keys, Xzibit, Snoop Dogg, Jason DeRulo, Pitbull, Courtney Love, Cuba Gooding Jr. ve Marisa Tomei gibi konuklar da bölümleri renklendiriyor.
