Series: The Purge (Season 2, Episodes 4 & 5)

I've squeezed in a couple more episodes of Season 2 of The Purge, on Amazon Prime. The angles that the series takes continue.. Episode 4 starts with a viciously hard-hitting "remembrance day", taking place three months after Purge Night, where families who have lost loved ones are presented with a finely crafted souvenir box, containing a framed photo, and an urn of ashes, among other things, and are thanked for their "sacrifice".

Meantime, our characters' stories continue, with ever-more intriguing twists and turns (as seen in Season 1). Honestly, I keep changing my mind about which story is most interesting to follow. A couple of them, however, examine the NFFA claim that Purge Night leads to a decrease in violence for the rest of the year.. expect more intriguing developments on this theme, I think. And ooh, I'm dying to see how they turn out, unconstrained as they are from having to take place over one night, now!
