'Wu-Tang: An American Saga': Fans demand a second season ahead of the season finale that may end on a cliffhanger
Hulu's 'Wu-Tang: An American Saga', created by the RZA and Alex Tse, has the last episode of what might presumably be the first season airing this Wednesday. We learned a lot of behind-the-scenes stories of the members of the Wu-Tang Clan, especially Divine, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, and the RZA, of course.
The show brought to the attention of many fans — long-time and new ones — that Method Man used to play lacrosse, the lengths Divine went to provide for his family, the RZA's turn as Prince Rakeem and how Tommy Boy Records failed to recognize the greatness in him.
The most tragic story we learned about the Wu-Tang Clan's history was the police killing of Ernest Sayon, who is symbolized by a character named Haze on the show.
Throughout the nine episodes that aired, clues have been peppered here and there — samples of music the RZA used, the Hong Kong martial arts films, and of course, the Five Percent Nation.
We have even seen Bobby play with the idea of getting multiple rappers together, but that vision has not been fulfilled yet. In last week's episode, Bobby was dropped by Tommy Boy Records, and his tapes were stolen by a thug recently released from jail, asking for $60,000 in ransom.
Though Dennis (Ghostface Killah) was mad at Bobby for associating with people from the other hood, he decides to put it behind to help Bobby.
Dennis's beef stems from the events of the first episode when Sha (Raekwon) shot up his house with him and his two brothers in it.
That beef hasn't been solved yet and fans are wondering how the writers are going to fit in everything that leads up to the point of the group's formation in the last episode. It is no wonder that viewers are asking producers for a second season.
Some fans even say the whole beef between Dennis and Sha and Shotgun needs to have a spinoff of its own, but we will settle for a second season.
The show has not covered how Divine and Power became the managers of the Wu-Tang Clan but they have certainly hinted the duo's roles in managing the music and the business of the group.
Some fans think that there will be a second season, though the show is called a mini-series, and think the first season will end with Bobby's felony charge.
In the early 90s, the then-22-year-old Bobby was arrested and charged with felonious assault after he was accused of shooting a man named Willie Walters in the leg, for which he faced eight years in jail.
However, Bobby was found not guilty and a little over a year later, the Wu-Tang Clan's debut album was released.
Whether the producers and Hulu decide to go ahead with a second season will be clear once the finale airs this weekend. But until then, fans are eagerly waiting to see how this take on possibly the greatest hip-hop group's story will end.
The finale of 'Wu-Tang: An American Saga' will be available to stream on Hulu this Wednesday.
