Reception
Hours after the series was announced, Shane Warne’s eldest daughter, Brooke Warne, accused Nine of being “beyond disrespectful” and “insensitive” to greenlight the series just a few months after her father's death, and also claiming that “it’s just a ratings ploy”.[4][5][6]
The miniseries went into production after Channel 9 and ScreenTime had talks with the family. The family later lent their support to the production, closely collaborating with the family.[7]
