Warnie

One of the most glaring issues with the Warnie TV miniseries is its superficial and disjointed narrative. Rather than delving into the depths of Shane Warne's fascinating life, the series chooses to skim over key moments and fails to provide any meaningful exploration of the subject matter. The disjointed storytelling further detracts from the narrative.

Despite Shane Warne being a complex and controversial figure, the show offers nothing more than shallow portrayals and surface-level stereotypes. The actors fail to embody their characters convincingly, resulting in performances that are devoid of passion and conviction. Whether it is the lack of chemistry between the actors or their inability to capture the nuances of their respective roles, the overall impact is a disheartening portrayal of a potentially captivating story.

This is literally a cash-grab of the highest order and needs to be avoided like the plague.

This belongs in the bin it is such an awful and rushed mini series and it truly shows. There was so much more to Warnie in his life then his scandals, his cricket career should've been forefront in this drama and his life after cricket would've been better to see.

I feel sorry for the family who had to also watch this, they deserved better in my opinion.

It was way too soon and hard to enjoy knowing that we lost Warnie just months earlier, this was a misstep from channel 9 and I could not enjoy it. I got halfway through the first episode and turned off. I loved most of those actors but after that I lost all respect.

Skip it you didn't miss much.

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.

Certainly quite watchable. All the diehard Warnie fans are upset but for those not obsessed with him it's a good insight to a flawed hero. It is also a great depiction of the times and the difficult lives that cricketers have to endure. Most of the storyline is public knowledge so i don't really see the problem. Acting is average but typical for an Australian TV mini-series. The soundtrack is also great from the era with all Aussie songs. Yes perhaps they could have waited a year or 2 but another network would have made it if Nine waited any longer. Don't listen to all the Warnie fans and give it a go.
