: An American Saga,” a new series on Hulu assaying the rise of the Wu-Tang Clan as recollected by one of its members, joins a recent wave of art in which the subjects tell high-gloss versions of their own stories.
Last year, “Bohemian Rhapsody” — a hagiographic look at the rise of the band Queen, made with the enthusiastic assent and guidance of that group’s surviving members, became an Oscar-winning smash hit. It was followed this summer by “Rocketman,” a big-budget retelling of Elton John’s life story in which John, too, participated. Both versions were told redemptively, with a certain glowing admiration for both the musicianship of their subjects and other, loftier qualities .
The series is clear-eyed about its setting, depicting its characters as potentially great but stymied by the lack of resources coming their way; its view on its milieu is complicated by real love for the city even despite the inequality that thrives there. “Wu-Tang” has flashes of sharp imagination — sequences that are animated, or styled like an early-nineties video game.
