⁣⁣Set in the heart of the early 90’s drug scene, Wu-Tang: An American saga chronicles the origins of the Wu Tang Clan, introducing a smattering of characters early on and allowing their story to play out. At times, it can difficult to discern exactly who everyone is and despite the relatively slow pace, does little to alleviate this until a few episodes in.

While the plot itself is engaging, swinging back and forth between Bobby’s desire to make music and the drug scene that consumes him, trying to remember who everyone is and what their allegiance is will almost certainly breed some confusion unless you’re completely clued up on the story surrounding these people.
We begin in the early evening with Sha being picked up from Park Hill; the writing ominously scribbled out and changed to read Killer Hill. As the rain lashes down they make it to Stapelton Houses. Uzis at the ready, they shoot up an apartment playing host to Dennis, a man caring for his disabled brothers. Seeing the bullets sprayed through the wall, he prepares for the worst as he rushes into the bedroom, where he finds wine spilt over his Mum, prompting him to grab his own gun and head out.
