What to Know

Critics Consensus

While not quite as impressive as its legendary subject matter, An American Saga is a beautifully rendered and raw exploration of the Wu-Tang journey.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast 09/14/2021
Wu-Tang: An American Saga paints a portrait of inner-city trials and tribulations that feels like a third-rate photocopy of The Wire, glorifying the very sort of behavior and milieu that, presumably, its characters are trying to escape.

There's an emotional grit and resonance to this fictionalised version of the Wu-Tang Clan story... Even non-fans can dig it. Go to Full Review Troy Patterson The New Yorker 11/02/2019
Dirty's every gesture-every swigged drink and slinky entrance-is dancerly, in a series that plays like a great piece of work about the quest to achieve freedom of movement. Go to Full Review Tres Dean Inverse 01/10/2023
While it may be more subtle than expected, Wu-Tang: An American Saga is very much a musical biopic series for you, fellow comic book geek. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Goomba Stomp 09/14/2021
Equally earnest and self-righteous, Wu-Tang: An American Saga's best moments are often its quietest, haunting interludes between musical sequences and trite gangster story lines; unfortunately, those moments are spread too thin. Go to Full Review Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ 10/19/2020
Wu-Tang: An American Saga paints this world vividly and convincingly, while still finding time for moments of peace, stillness, love and solidarity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Parker G. @pgrason1 Mar 18 It’s a little slow at times but it’s a great foundation for the complex and legendary story of the Wu tang and rza’s 5 year plan. The music scenes are like a really cool way of seeing a producers mindset and rza’s influences that lead him to form the iconic songs.

I grew up in the 90s listening to this music and lived in the run down areas of California. This was east cost compared to west cost style but anyone who grew up near the hood gers why this show us a 5. If you grew up in the burbs your not gonna get it as much. See more prawnda s @RT72497680 02/15/2023 low quality nostalgia cash grab. the casting is cheap, randomized, people from crappy daytime TV, and the actors are unable to stay on beat while performing or do a halfway decent rendition of the original songs. there are some decent moments, but there are far too many issues with the material and it's execution for the show to be believable. See more J T @bluecat 01/17/2023 Very slow, I'm surprised at the high rating. See more Read all reviews
