Season 3 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “Wu-Tang” feels less like a celebration of self and more like a carefully, thoughtfully told memoir. Read full review

Season 3 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It captures some of the group's kaleidoscopic perspective and nascent brilliance, but leaves too many of its best ideas half-developed. Read full review

Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

A nice look at how The Wu-Tang clan came up and form the group we know today. Screenplay and actors are pretty good with roles. I look forward to season 2.
