The TimesCarol MidgleyOct 12, 2020
Season 1 Review: This documentary flitted about, sometimes a little disjointedly, between Africa, the Americas and England as Jackson and Afua Hirsch narrated the shameful history of slavery along with all its complexities. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A sobering US documentary series which sets out, in a clear and incontrovertible manner, the horrors of the slave trade. Read full review

The GuardianJoseph HarkerOct 12, 2020
Season 1 Review: Given the heart-rending human tragedies told by Jackson and Hirsch, it feels indulgent to spend so much time on what is, ultimately, the retrieval of an ancient elephant tusk from the seabed, connected though it is to the slave ships. Perhaps it is all about expectation. The title, Enslaved, will attract those who wish to know more about the trade and its inhumanities, without the extended diving dramas. Read full review
