Season 1 Review:
Picnic at Hanging Rock is a project that works better at the length of a feature film than a six-hour series. In the mid-section of the season, scenes start to feel overheated, as if the producers are worried that you’re starting to get bored (you probably are). Memorable performances and solid production values just don’t matter if a narrative sags.

Season 1 Review:
To someone raised on music videos and the movies of Baz Luhrmann--another proud product of Australia--this might seem a perfectly reasonable way through the material, even a necessary one. But it still looks like a music video a lot of the time, modern in a way that will seem dated sooner than later. For some of us, sooner will already be now.

Season 1 Review:
While the secret longings of these missing young women make for a tantalizing puzzle, navigating this tiresome new Rock is no picnic. [14 - 27 May 2018, p.11]
Season 1 Review:
Ms. Christian and Ms. Addison have taken every latent idea, every veiled suggestion, in the material and made it explicit. Every piece of subtext has been dredged up so that it can be turned into banal commentary on the benighted attitudes of the provincial patriarchy toward gender, race, class and sexuality. ... All that’s left is a fairly threadbare, clichéd melodrama.
