I'm watching Empire rn and I DON'T like Takeem, How do you feel about them?
Do you have time because I have a lot.
First. I don't know how far you are in the show, so I'll try to keep my comments spoiler free as possible.
For one, I never got emotionally invested in the ship, When they got together in season 1, I just figured they were a starter ship and nothing was going to come out of it.
Secondly, their who relationship was on and off to the point where it really got annoying. At one point, she made it seem like she was done for good, but then got back in the cycle because she was in her feelings about something else regarding her current boyfriend at the time.
Thirdly, Hakeem can be annoying as an individual, but in the show he grew. She did not, and I partially blame bad writing. The issue with her not growing up had to do with him wanting something serious and she did not. Understandable, but then she would get jealous if he showed interest in another person (a few times it was to make her jealous, most times it was not).
Honestly, there were times when it should've been done, but the writers kept it going.
If you don't mind this shameless plug, I actually did an episode of my podcast talking about Tiana as a character, but I also mentioned the ship.
