The buzz around is not good
It looks like rubbish from the promos. And you would think that the promos would show the good parts.
Havenāt seen any good reviews - hereās a āwofulā and a 2-star.
I think there will be a big curiosity factor for episodes one. Whether they come back for ep 2? Also cricket fans will probably get something from it, though the way that vintage footage has been doctored to insert the actors is strange.

but the good news is that #Riptide and #QueenOfOz are worth watching ...https://t.co/gnduacniwD
Probably not.
The fact that this has been rushed to commission after Warneās death wonāt go well with many either. It reeks of insensitivity and lack of compassion for the family.
Warnie seems rushed, just like Nineās other recent 2-part-miniseries, Underbelly: Vanishing Act (on Melissa Caddick).
Despite some good actors on Vanishing Act, that was also rushed to air, with floppy scripts. And in the end was a big let down. Despite good ratings. Perhaps for the curiosity factor?
Warnieās promos look just as bad. Nine should have taken their time with this, and aired it at least towards the end of the year, to fill in some voids when thereās no sports aroundā¦
Iāve been umming and aahing about whether to watch this.
The fact that itās on over 2 nights is a bit of a turn off for me - feels a bit unnecessarily drawn outā¦ The above reviews donāt help.
I probably wonāt now, thereāll always be the opportunity to watch on 9Now or the inevitable repeat if I change my mind - by then they might have edited it down to one night.
And Nine probably wouldāve preferred this to go up against something like MDI or Blow Up, rather than good rating DWTS and MasterChef let alone ABCā¦
Allegedly this isnāt true - it had been substantially written and been in the works for a little while prior to his death. (Thats not to say its not going to be hot garbage)
So whatever had been being made (probably with a 5 year timeline) has been rushed to completion? Ashes means cricket viewers are watching 9 and being not too soon after his passing means itās still in the rest of the publicās conscience.
A few minutes in and already comments on social media overwhelmingly negative, couldnāt actually find a single positive one, some already saying theyāve turned off/switched overā¦
My expectations were low, but this is absolutely horrendous lmao
RE: Killyās link of TV commentator Steve Molk from TVBā Fetch ratings screenshot
Even though not accurate and to be taken with a grain of salt, as well as being national, that would have to be a bad sign and gut punch for Nine execs, let alone showing DWTS ahead and not wafer thin eitherā¦
Inb4 someone says itās all the oldies and fossils propping DWTS up.
It also goes big regionally.
Warnie might however benefit from BVOD (tonightās live stream and vod before 2am and vod over next 7 days - more likely if younger) but if older then consolidated broadcast (from recordings).
If DWTS and Warnie are fairly neck-and-neck (which at least tonight Iād expected for metro, despite the negative publicity) then it might be in trouble with Total TV, where as suggested, DWTS should have it covered in regional and weāll have to wait and see on bvod and consolidated. Also remembering unlike Seven (maybe apart from N NSW although Tokyo 2020 did go huge there) Nine have historically poor performing markets in general (Adelaide, Perth, QLD, VIC, TAS, Reg WA and arguably S NSW).
The inaccuracies within this show are horrid.
What on earth were they thinking?!
It just misses the markā¦
Part from Shaneās hair, it doesnāt even feel like itās set in the 90s or 80s.
Iām actually enjoying it, however as others have mentioned, it all feels very rushed.
Why bother trying to make it feel like the 80ās and 90ās, if you canāt be bothered framing or keying out modern day houses in the background? Surely this kind of stuff should have been picked up on when filming locations were scouted.
Thatās one criticism. The Production could have done better at placing the series into a more retro setting.
Think of The Newsreader that did a superb job at this.
