Wu-Tang: An American Saga

Wu-Tang's legacy is one of the best rap groups ever created (actually one of the best groups ever regardless of genre) and this show tells the amazing and powerful story of how they became the legends they are! You don't even have to be a fan to like this show but if you are then it's just that much better!

Firstly you don't need to be a hip hop fan to enjoy this show. I'm English, I'm white and I'm over 50 so I'm probably as far removed from the "stereotypical" target demographic you can get. This show is brilliant, it's a genuine drama that shows just how hard it must be to actually break through even if you have the talent the members of Wu-Tang Clan have.

Obviously I've no idea how close to the truth this story is, what's been left out or what's been added in creatively to enhance the overall story. But if even half of this is true then it's an incredible story.

The show doesn't have a single bad actor in it, everyone brings the character they play to life and despite the fact that at the start of the show the individuals aren't exactly "good" you get the sense that the criminal activities were more of a situation of circumstance rather than wanting to be gangsters.

You can tell I like this show, I know how enthusiastic I must sound but trust me it's worth the hype. I'm just at the end of season 2 and I truly hope we get another season.

Let's hope the actors that have brought Wu-Tang Clan to the screen so brilliantly all go on the have huge careers.

Good show and brings a lot of depth to the band members, they got the OLB spot on. It does get very odd in Season 2, what happened to RZA's voice? Is he confusing himself with Batman?

I've personally met Ghostface and Raekwon together. I would never thought there journey with one another started out the way it did.

Who's who: D-Love - Ghostface Killah, Sha - Raekwon, Ason/Unique - ODB, Shotgun - Method Man, Gary/Allah Justice - GZA, Bobby - RZA
