Michael Owen’s Quiet Life Makes for Surprisingly Warm Viewing

8/28 @ 9:39pm by Morten Nielsen

Michael Owen’s new Prime Video series, *Meet The Owens*, gently examines his reputation for being rather dull

The former England and Liverpool striker now runs a racing stable from his Cheshire manor, finding purpose among horses and family life

Louise Owen and their children, particularly Gemma Owen, bring warmth and energy to the programme, while Michael’s dry humour emerges in scenes involving ice cream, toast and a mischievous dog

His football punditry may have lacked excitement, but this affectionate portrait of a close family proves quietly entertaining.
