Season 1 Reviews
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Dominic Patten
Instead of opening new avenues of what mayhem could occur during the annual ritual of a not-too-far-in-the-future America,... the cumbersome multiple plots of the TV series go for endless and mind-numbing murder.
Movie Chambers
Paul Chambers
After viewing the the first three episodes of Season One, I see "The Purge" as overwhelmingly unsuitable for basic cable television.
AwardsCircuit.com
Alan French
It also features fine direction and decent scripts. For most shows, this could be a negative. For "The Purge," this might be the best execution of the concept to date
San Francisco Chronicle
Michael Ordoña
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.
Common Sense Media
Joyce Slaton
Dark, violent film-based show is better than it has to be.
Paste Magazine
LaToya Ferguson
As someone who hasn't watched The Purge movies, the episodes I've seen-including the pilot... have given me enough reason to watch the rest of the season, just to see how it all shakes out.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Keith Phipps
This is the best incarnation of The Purge yet. The mythology of the films has been begging to be unpacked a bit, and the series has done that without explaining too much in the process.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Faster-paced, more diverse and more pointed in its critique of American bloodlust than its cinematic counterparts.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
The premiere episode is a sharply written introduction to the series...The Purge delivers an appealingly outsized small-screen take on this material.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
So hot on the heels of the other movies, as well as the impassioned state of the country as a whole, it feels too much like an afterthought.
New York Times
Mike Hale
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.
Shadow and Act
Jonathan P. Higgins, Ed.D.
Like its film predecessors, the TV show, often challenges us as the viewers to check in with our own value systems.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
USA and DeMonaco have somehow found a way to stretch out these tales over 10 episodes, which is about six more than feels sustainable.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
The part of me that wants to keep watching The Purge for more world-building details is likely to lose out to the part of me that, after nearly a third-of-a-season, doesn't care about the fate of a single one of the show's characters.
Pajiba
Dustin Rowles
I'm not saying that season one of The Purge was bad, mind you. It had its moments. I'm just saying that it would have been better if it had been edited down to, say, an hour and 40 minutes without commercial breaks.
Variety
Daniel D'Addario
The thing that keeps The Purge from becoming the great bit of social horror it seems to be striving towards is how painfully underthought the relationship between subject and viewer is.
Collider
Haleigh Foutch
"Fans of the franchise should find plenty to enjoy in the new series, whether it's the tangents of world-building and deepened mythology, the freaky new masks, or the ensemble of rich characters."
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Where the series falls short, ultimately, is in the execution -- or more accurately in Purge world, executions.
indieWire
Ben Travers
To say television deserves better is obvious, so instead let's remember "The Purge" deserves better, too.
The Young Folks
Mae Abdulbaki
The premiere does a great job introducing viewers to the handful of characters they'll be following over the next few episodes. It also leaves us with many questions as the end of the episode begins a minute into the annual slaughter.
