Review: USA’s Uninspired TV Adaptation Should be Outlawed Every Night of the Year

So pointing out that the latest depiction of Purge Night — and the first for made for TV — isn’t particularly petrifying is far from a damning critique. “The Purge” doesn’t have to be, but USA’s limited series does need to deliver something of value: engaging characters (rather than one-note eye witnesses), imaginative world-building (instead of brief, unexplored glimpses), or, yes, relevant commentary. The first three episodes make a half-hearted attempt toward the latter, but they’re just reiterating aspects from the movies. With a high-concept (“Crime is legal!”) and a ticking clock (“But just for 12 hours!”), “The Purge” should never be familiar or slow, and the TV version manages both.
