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.
