	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ceri Radford Telegraph	"My favourite bit was a glimpse of a crocodile roiling through the camp’s river: I was rooting for it to gobble up a few characters in a simple act of violence with no ethical paroxysms attached (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Chris Bennion The Independent	"McGovern’s drama is struggling to break off the shackles (...) Despite the gritty setting, 'Banished' is as oppy as a soap opera"	NEG
United Kingdom	Paul Daley The Guardian	"It's the blackfellas who are banished from BBC drama (...) It’s a preposterous omission that critically undermines what might otherwise have been a worthwhile seven hours of television. (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	NEG
