In light of the energizing and frightening films' series, The Purge, which started in 2013 with the initial segment and it has made awesome progress over the rest three sections, the series introduces an accumulation of energizing stories that takes after this horrendous day in which every one of the wrongdoings are allowed for twelve hours.
I can't say that The Purge TV show is wholly incredible as a standalone piece of entertainment. But it does a lot of things that the film franchise can't, and has a fun time making it all happen.
And in the first three episodes, following the dictates of basic cable, it dials back both the social commentary and the splatter-happy action and violence from their cinematic levels.
It settles into a creepy, occasionally absurdly funny dystopian drama with some chase scenes and twists, which is a pretty smart way for the franchise to evolve.
Call me crazy, but it just may turn out that 10 hours of gory slaughter unconstrained by even the vaguest intellectual or moral framework is going to be irredeemable crap no matter how many pretty sociopolitical ribbons you put on it.
The fact that it's also clumsily made and rife with mediocre performances seems almost beside the point in the context of how pointless this thing is in the first place.
The Purge was never going to be thoughtful enough to become one of those series...and would've done far better if it gleefully leaned into its nonsensical side and exhibited a little self-awareness.
