The popularity of Wrexham AFC has reached another level. Ever since the club was taken over by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, it has gained major prominence. They have achieved massive fame and glory due to many obvious reasons. One of the reasons has also been their own docuseries, ‘Welcome to Wrexham.’
The club has gained more stature ever since the documentary came out. The soccer world loved the epic series that portrays the adventures of Hollywood owners at a Welsh club. It has broken all the ratings records and also topped the list of most-watched series. However, their record is broken by another documentary.

Tupac’s Series Breaks ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary’s record
Tupac Shakur was one of the most renowned rappers in the history of America. He was one of the most influential rappers and best-selling music artists. The singer was fatally shot in 1996. He may have died, but his greatness still remains today. In fact, it seems Tupac’s eminence has taken over Reynolds and McElhenney’s luster, as his documentary, ‘Dear Mama’ has surpassed the Hollywood owner’s documentary ratings.
The first two episodes of the series premiered on FX and Hulu on April 21. Since then, it has surpassed ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ as FX’s most-watched unscripted debut among cross-platform viewers. Prior to Tupac’s documentary, Reynolds’ series topped the charts with over 271,000 viewers for its first two episodes.

However, around 200,000 people watched the live premiere of Dear Mama, which gave it a significant headstart. The series is also available on Disney+, and it also has a 100% critic rating. Furthermore, the series has a 92% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The series gives an insight into Tupac’s relationship with his mother, Afeni Shakur. Either way, the series has taken over the limelight from Wrexham’s docuseries. But it is possible, the second season of Reynolds’ series will be a major hit, as the whole soccer world awaits it.
