The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I've rarely been so disappointed with a BBC miniseries. This is a romance, almost a romantic colony with most of the plot revolving around who is sleeping with whom tonight and the resultant conflict. About the only historical effort came from the costume department. But, Banished is not even a costume drama. I give it four stars only for some of the acting.

This series may not be a good one for the people who are in to the history, it may be misleading to those who don not have idea on history, but it gives an idea about History of Australia for those not in to history.Apart form that, it is not always possible to show "as it is" the history while reproducing the Movies and Shows. It is required to deviate a little bit but not too much, and introduce the romance, fun, foreplays, etc., bits to make it more entertaining. Other wise no will watch and no one will sponsor. One need to understand that.I have watched first season, to me it went well... Actions, Story is perfect, maintained Thrill & Kick through out the show. The Good script is always the one, which goes beyond the imagination of the viewers, that is it, it has got and it is more than enough to get 8 points. Sad it is cancelled, I don't see any reason to cancel this show.

Now being viewed in Canada on Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Unfortunately the CBC has nasty habit of interrupting dialogue mid-sentence for commercial =more$$$. The remainder of scene is then deleted. Don't quite get the neatly barbered look of many characters and the structured hair mess of others. A $300 haircut looks VERY out of place after 5 episodes. The British ideal of 'holding down the fort' certainly displays English ideal of inability to assimilation to surroundings. "The supply boat will bring supplies to feed us." How many months do they starve before they explore for sustenance? The plot may lack continuity through out episodes though the female treatment seams to help gloss over inconsistencies.

Only one thing to say. WHERE ARE THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE? Another example of "terra nullius" i.e. the British legal confection that assumed that the Australian continent was not occupied at time of contact; this legal lie was finally laid to rest by the Mabo Decision in the High Court of Australia in 1992. This is a poorly researched "history" which misses out the most important point of British colonial expansion into this country i.e. dispossession of the Indigenous people - not to mention perpetuating the fabrication that this country was not occupied. All the early journals (e.g. Watkin Tench, John White) have pages and pages of observations of Aboriginal life so - obviously - the two populations were interacting from day one. So, WHERE ARE THEY?? Scandalous.
