Warnie

I hope since the show was released that Channel 9 has apologised to the family because it had to of been one of the most awful shows to watch in 2023. The cast looked like someone picked them out of a lineup, talent was wasted and how on earth could they get away with such tasteless acts like showing his cheating and not what he was known for? The editing is choppy and very messy, what's even worse is the fact they edited footage of actual matches to put in the show I mean wow truly wow. If there had been respect for the real person this would not of been allowed to happen but it did and it exists sadly. Don't bother, go on youtube and watch warnie's real highlights his career as a bowler.

If I could write the word "GARBAGE" over and over I would. Because that is what this is. This is tacky in the highest order and we all thought Underbelly Vanishing Act was awful this is just a cash grab of a legend of the game. He hadn't even been gone for them to announce this.

It's a pity as well because the "archive" footage if you can even call it that is edited in such a way the "bowling" action used by Alex Williams is awful, maybe should've used a stunt actor who actually played cricket professionally. Alex Williams didn't portray Warnie the way we knew him as a larrakin, his acting in certain scenes looks stiff and it's noticeable in some scenes alongside the actors who had been in the industry for years.

I love a lot of the actors in this, but whoever let them do this, I feel sorry for them, not only did they have the weight of the world on their shoulders, but the script writer Matt Ford? Should never write another biopic again.. and Geoff Bennett? Needs to stop directing "drama events" because they are becoming worse and worse.

Again, Channel 9 apologise to everyone who appeared in this and be careful with your next "drama event of the year." make sure its not as tacky as this..

No wonder channel 9 can't get a television drama when they rely on a dead has been sports star who hadn't even been gone for several months. This was one of the worst mini series/ shows I had the displeasure of watching and I want my time back on this awful show. I truly hope the family and those involved received apologies because there was no way no way at all this would've flown had the family known. It was rushed, it had a poor script and it was not "enjoyable" far from that. It was not Shane, for from it. More should've been done around his cricket instead of the fluff surrounding his life he may of been interesting but he wasn't that interesting.

Warnie hasn't been gone long, this short 2 episode mini series doesn't do the best to show us whom he was. He was more than the scandals, he was a great cricketer, but he was involved with charities and so on. None that included in the series besides one mention stating a children's charity golf match, other than that nothing. This series seems rushed. Hack job. He hasn't been gone long either seems to be in bad taste. Too soon for this series. Could have been done better, and left enough appropriate time to pass for the family before releasing this. Warnie deserves better Disappointed. RIP WARNIE.

Extremely weak series, jumping through ages and no depth to Warnies character. I'm not sure we saw any passion in this series.

I saw him around Brighton and I don't think this depicted how hard it was for him, and how incredible Simone is. Also, his children could see this and I hope they don't.

I can't even tell you what it was about tbh. In my opinion it was offensive to Warnie, his family and his legacy.

I once saw Warnie pick up Maccas from Church St when it used to be there. Out of nowhere about 15-20 teenage girls came screaming around the corner, he ran to the car - Simone was driving and the kids looked absolutely terrified as he ran. Once he got to the car the girls were trying to open the door but Simone was too smart and got her family to safety (luckily with the maccas!).

I don't like cricket, I don't know if I like Warnie as I never met him, but when I watched that I felt nothing but empathy for him and his family.
