** David Ryker and the Betancourt's security system was bought from the [[Film/ThePurge Sandins]]. Just like in that film, it doesn't stop someone determined to get in.

* TokenGoodCop:
** Recurring character [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pete the Cop]] is an ex-policeman with a strong moral compass: before he quit the force, he was one of the only officers who opposed the Purge, trying to stop his colleagues from engaging in VigilanteMan behaviour, but was constantly stymied by his pro-Purge superiors and eventually left to open up a [[TruceZone safe-haven bar]].
** Season 2 flashbacks show Ryan Grant and his team as the only ones at their precinct who are trying to stop a drug cartel (albeit by trying to go CowboyCop on Purge night) instead of taking money to protect it, which leads to them deciding to TurnInYourBadge and become bank robbers after seeing how their boss was dirty.

Plot happens with a fictitious event.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: We get to see the immediate aftermath of the Purge, and it's as bad as you'd imagine. The city has to mobilize scores of {{cleanup crew}}s to deal with all the death, while the emergency services like hospitals are overwhelmed by those who were wounded but survived the night.

Added DiffLines:

* VillainOfAnotherStory: Many Purgers who don't directly hinder the main characters are clearly barbaric murderers who are spending the night doing horrible things which are only briefly touched on during their screen time. Two standouts are two people who Miguel briefly drives past in the third episode when he doesn't have time to stop. One of them is shocking a captive with a car battery, while his friend is hitting golf balls out of a second captive's mouth.
