    Hot Garbage

    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..

    Avoid this

    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.

    Trash

    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.

    Disappointed

    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.

    The Story Of A Legend

    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.
