The show does a great job of presenting the Wu-Tang concept for what it is while avoiding all the trappings associated with the typical biographical rise-to-stardom drama we've been seeing over and over for decades. It has the audacity to be slow and not self-explanatory (e.g. the who's who question), but the result is that instead of an extended trailer with fan service thrown in you get an organic narrative set in a real world with lots of context and actual depth (one parallel that comes to mind is FX's Snowfall).
