Above all else, it is nice to see Wu-Tang: An American Saga grow just as the characters have. It took time to find its footing through some of the uncertainty of the early episodes, but there is a greater grace to this concluding season that makes it all worth it.
“Wu-Tang” feels less like a celebration of self and more like a carefully, thoughtfully told memoir.

Wu-Tang: An American Saga mirrors and honors the expansive nature and broad range of creativity that defined Wu-Tang themselves, even if it sometimes struggles to hammer the whole thing into straightforward TV series storytelling.
Hardcore fans will probably argue about whether the series does Wu-Tang justice. Those looking for a rudimentary rundown of the group’s foundation would be better served by watching the excellent “Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men” documentary released earlier this year. The story in “Saga” is more like an account of the truth.
It captures some of the group's kaleidoscopic perspective and nascent brilliance, but leaves too many of its best ideas half-developed.
Dramatizing the origin story of the famed Staten Island crew as a pastiche of every gangster and drug-dealing cliché imaginable, Hulu’s eight-part series is both ill-conceived and consistently dull. ... Only alive when its protagonists are crafting beats and verses, it requires twice as long as Showtime’s recent doc Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men to say half as much.
Pretty good show that did a good job of telling **** a few filler episodes throughout the series that could have been left out. But if you are fan of Wu-Tang and want to know more about their story it worth checking out.I hope to see more series like this in the future. That tells the story of musical artist.
Report
The show follows founding member RZA through the late 80's and early 90's during the crack epidemic in New York City's underground bring together other rappers to form which would be later known as The Wu-Tang Clan. Throughout the show, it presents each member's trials and tribulations on what they were doing with their lives during this time. From family, loss of loved ones, incarceration, drug dealing, come ups, struggles, warring feuds (to name of few of the situations the group had to battle) shows the effects and outcomes of such events all to pursue a vision of bettering themselves. Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothin to f*** with.
