Warnie

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
