The Purge (The TV Show)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Well, Malcolm was wrong considering S2 is on its way.

Something bugs me about it though. The whole premise of this new season, based on ads I've seen, says The Purge has made people more violent during the time outside of The Purge.

Not only did the original movie, which was set years into The Purge being a thing, specifically point out that crime rates during times outside of the Purge were almost nil, but the concept of this show's S2 contradicts the entire point of The Purge.

I get that they need to freshen things up, but this seems to be a stretch for the franchise.
