    The Purge S01E01 Review: What Is America? Some intriguing storylines…

    By Salome G
    | September 5, 2018
    TV Blogs

    Although we haven’t specifically reviewed any of The Purge film series here, IRL I talk about it a lot. Like, a lot. Do I have a Purge plan? Maybe. *cut to me at the end of the Annual Purge in my bunker with at least one stolen dog and a Scrooge McDuck-size money vault*

    Everyone I know: Stop making the siren noise!

    Purge S1 Poster

    I’ve seen all of the films, which have been a mixed bag. That, combined with the difficulty of adapting films to TV, had me a bit apprehensive when USA announced a limited edition Purge series. Sometimes movies adapted to television series can be successful. Other times, they are less so. So how did they do? Let’s find out.

    As the show begins, we are just over an hour until the commencement of the Purge, which is taking place in an as yet unnamed small city (that I can easily recognize as New Orleans). We meet Miguel (Gabriel Chavarria), a Marine who’s back from Afghanistan and who is looking for his sister Penelope (Jessica Garza). It’s clear that she’s had some problems–he first goes looking for her at a rehab–but we know something Miguel doesn’t. Judging by the robes, Penelope’s joined a cult. CULT 2018, BABY! And judging by the brief conversations we overhear between cult members, they’re going to sacrifice themselves. For the Purge? Because of the Purge? Ah, who can fathom cults?!

    Purge S1e1 Gabriel Chavarria

    Speaking of, aren’t the New Founding Fathers kind of a cult? In case you’re unfamiliar, the New Founding Fathers of America is the political party that took over the United States after a period of “economic collapse and social unrest.” To get the country back on track, they began the tradition of the Annual Purge, after a test night on Staten Island. Now here we are years later, about to see the something annual–the timeline is confusing–Purge.

    Of course, not everyone purges. Obviously, money buys safety. It puts distance between you and the fire outside. That’s where we find the rest of our recurring characters. First, there’s Jenna (Hannah Emily Anderson) and Rick (Colin Woodell), a married couple who usually stay in, locked up tight on Purge nights. They’re venturing out this year, because they’ve been invited to an NFFA-affiliated fancy party and they need to network for their charity.

    Purge S1e1 Amanda Warren

    Then there’s Jane (Amanda Warren), a financial professional who’s supposed to be pulling an all-nighter with her team on a secured floor in their office building. As the guards repeatedly assured Jane and her underling that the floor was secure, I answered them: “Somebody’s gon’ get in, though.” After all, they wouldn’t have mentioned it so many times if they weren’t trying to foreshadow it. I must admit, though, I was a little surprised that it was Jane who let the “somebody” in.

    While she’s setting that up, Miguel is finding the cult HQ and learning what his sister has planned for the night. We’re learning that their parents were killed on a Purge night years ago, which I suppose explains a bit about how they’ve turned out. As you might imagine, Miguel is horrified to find out what his sister is up to these days.

    Purge S1e1 Hannah Emily Anderson Colin Woodell

    Having almost as bad a time are Jenna and Rick at the party. Look, it seems like a boring party and when the Purge barriers come down and the guests are given serial killer masks to wear, that just makes it a creepy boring party. Jenna and Rick had, at the very least, a sexual relationship with Lila (Lili Simmons), the hosts’ daughter, and the only saving grace for them tonight is that Lila is out of the country. Whoops, no, she isn’t! Thank goodness–awkwardness was what this party was missing.

    As they digest that, Miguel cruises the city, looking for the cult bus. It, meanwhile, has stopped in a field, where Arnold has been chosen first for “The Giving.” As he stands there, waiting for the masked assailants to attack him, it almost seems like his composure falters for a moment. And a moment later, when they’re upon him with their axes and sledgehammers, it definitely seems like Penelope’s does. I don’t think she wants to be here anymore. Let’s hope her brother finds her fast.

    8/10 – Although, as I said, it can be a challenge adapting a film (series) to television, so far it’s pretty good. The show has set up some intriguing storylines. I think the party is the most interesting one so far, but who knows what’s going to pop off in Jane’s office building? We still don’t know, after all, for what purpose she hired a Purge-night assassin. Finding that out and learning a little bit more about what the NFFA is up to has grabbed both my curiosity and my attention so far.

    Here comes my wishful thinking. If I were the director of this TV adaptation, then I will immediately start with the purging process. I will then tell the story of why people are killing each other. The first episode doesn’t give us the interest to continue watching the show, especially for those people who haven’t watched the movie version.

    As this franchise is already established, the producers won’t waste their time explaining the concepts anymore. It is indeed hard for newcomers; this kind of opening will look boring without prior knowledge. I hope you’ll stay tuned, though! Twists will be coming soon (or so I hope). Which story line do you want to see the most?

    I agree with you. I’ve watched the 4 movies, so I have no problem relating immediately to the show. However, the creators didn’t think about the people who haven’t seen the movie version of this show.

    I would like to see the story of Jenna and Rick. I hope they will be the ones who will purge the NFFA people.

    The first episode lacked subtlety, so it was far too easy to figure out what was going to happen next, especially during Jane’s scenes. It would have been cool to see that play out in a different direction. The cult aspect has won me over and it’s everything that American Horror Story: Cult lacked.

    The adverts for this programme have been very intriguing, but The Purge UK was so disappointing that I expected this to be the same and skipped it. I’ll stream it next it week though.

    I didn’t know that the UK adopted it at some point! Searching about that version brings me to other sequels like The Purge 2024 and After the Purge. None really stands out, though. Let’s hope this one won’t flop so bad.

    Salome, about Lila, it was strange for both of them to get involved. Maybe they were forced to do it for another purpose. This party is a similar case.

    Let us call it “The Royal Purge”. I don’t know about this Purge in the UK, and I’m not sure if the NFFA can infiltrate or take over the UK Parliament.

    I don’t get why Jane needed to hire somebody to kill someone when she can do it during the Purge.

    I love the movies, so I am very excited about the TV series! I just really wonder about how the story will evolve because I feel like the night of the Purge is what it is all about, how are they going to work their way around it?

    We can’t answer that now as we don’t know where this story sits in the timeline of the franchise. If it comes after Election Year, then I suppose anything can happen. I’m looking forward to watching the background story beyond the murders because that’s the truly interesting part.

    That’s true, I would also be interested in the background story behind some of the murders, though I feel like that could become bland really quickly. I’d love it if they would combine the night of the purge with the stories with flashbacks or something.

    Flashbacks are probable. I expect this show to take place after Election Year as there are still parties related to NFFA. There will be many background things to discuss, such as what happens after the election, why purges are still happening, what the NFFA plans now, etc. In addition to a good murder thriller, this one can be a good watch.

    Since this is a limited series (or, as they’re calling it, a “TV event”), I think this’ll all take place over the course of one Purge night.

    I’m glad you are recapping this series because I didn’t hear about it until I saw this article. I think about the movies so far and how we can explore more using the TV series format. At least the script is handled by the same author. This should ensure that he knows what to bring on the table this time to complete the franchise. About this episode itself, I agree that Rick and Jenna’s part is the most interesting one so far because they are this close to the NFFA, though I’m sure we won’t get answers as fast as… Read more »

    Something very uncomfortable must have happened with Lila, judging by the looks of horror on their faces.
