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.

Shane Warne is is one of the greatest cricketers of all time and a true legend of the sport. As a leg-spinner, he was known for his incredible skill and ability to bamboozle even the best batsmen in the world with his spin bowling.

What sets Warnie apart, however, is not just his incredible talent on the field, but also his charismatic personality and his ability to connect with fans around the world. He has always been a larger-than-life figure, with a cheeky sense of humor and a natural gift for storytelling that has made him a beloved figure in the world of cricket.

Despite his many achievements on the field, Warnie has also faced his fair share of challenges off the field, but he has always handled himself with grace and humility, and has remained a positive role model for fans around the world. Whether he's working as a commentator, sharing his insights on social media, or simply interacting with fans, he continues to inspire and entertain people around the world.

Overall, I would highly recommend Warnie to anyone who loves cricket or is looking to watch a great show. The acting is great and most events in his life are portrayed well. He is a true legend of the game, and his passion for cricket and his ability to connect with fans make him a truly inspiring figure.

RIP SHANE WARNE.

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.

It seems some reviewers here, and in the media in general, were predetermined to hate this show. Offended that the producers and creators had the temerity to even make it. Couldn't wait to rag on it, no matter the content. Well, I'm not particularly a cricket fan or a Shane Warne fan, but I am a drama fan and I thought this was a really entertaining, well made, well paced, well written mini series. The structure's nifty - bounces and darts around (dare I say like one of Warne's spin bowls) but is never confusing. The show is clearly intended for a mainstream audience so it's not esoteric or confusing; it's lively and fun. The performances, specially from the two leads, are terrific and the directing and editing are nippy and fresh. The writing gives a real sense of Warne's complexities and contradictions as a person without wallowing in introspection or becoming navel-gazing. The cricket sequences - both archival footage and reshot drama inserts - are integral and exciting and do a great job of dramatising Warne's extraordinary talent as a spin bowler. So give this show a watch with an open mind and there's heaps to enjoy.

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.
