Empire (2015) - S1 • E5 Ratings & Reviews

It's a new day, friends. Women can have sidepieces too. Feminism!

Has this show stumbled at all yet? Empire Season 1 Episode 5 was another solid installment full of catchy music, further character development and another celebrity cameo, this one of the Anthony Hamilton variety.
Entertainment Weekly
Jackson McHenry
Empire doesn't need another crime subplot... But Cookie's a lot more interesting than Lucious, so this twist opens up a lot more possibilities for the show.
Paste Magazine
Robert Ham
I know they have iTunes downloads to sell as their big promotional tie-in, and they have a dozen or more episodes yet to unleash on us, but Empire is dragging its feet.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Craig D. Lindsey
"Dangerous Bonds" points the show in the right direction. A strong follow-up to last week's also surprisingly good episode, "Bonds"... shows each member of the Lyon family following separate paths.
AV Club
Joshua Alston
"Dangerous Bonds" is an incredibly dense, chaotic episode, and it's fun to watch even as it makes sloppy, unfortunate choices.
