We Watched AppleTV+’s Cancelled Political Drama. It’s Clear Why They Pulled It.

'The Savant' is straight out of a progressive fever dream, with no mention of whose actually committing political violence.

Tongues are wagging over Apple TV+ benching “The Savant,” a new series following a hate-crime specialist tracking evil white men.

The Jessica Chastain vehicle was slated to debut on September 26. Now? There’s no new release date set. Why the dramatic move? Apple won’t exactly say, but many have suggested that the show features a Charlie Kirk-like figure painted in a negative light.

Well, we’ve seen the show’s first four episodes, and here’s the ugly truth. The series is ripped from a progressive’s fever dream, a tale completely disconnected from today’s headlines. Far from being awash in right-wing violence, we’re seeing the Left rise up in repulsive fury, from the assassination of Charlie Kirk to repeated attacks on ICE facilities and officials. And let’s not forget not one but two assassination attempts on Donald Trump.

Even The Atlantic and Axios begrudgingly admit political violence is now a Left-leaning problem. So does Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman.

That makes “The Savant’s” release problematic, to use the Left’s vernacular.

Just like The Handmaid's Tale is a feminist's fever dream... with no mention of islam the one true misogynistic religion.

And let’s not forget not one but two assassination attempts on Donald Trump.

At least three by my count. There was a guy from Ohio (?) who wrote on Facebook or somewhere that he was going to Washington to kill President Trump. The FBI or Secret Service heard about it, found out that he really was travelling to Washington, and intercepted him 2 blocks from the White House.

I don't quite know how close you have to get before it's considered "an attempt".

I’ve never paid for it. Between them giving it away with getting a new Apple device and my cell phone company trying to give it to me I have no idea it actually generates real money.

I don’t watch any sort of TV. It is all of it a waste of time.

Funny how leftists don’t realize they’re the bad guys.

There was a much better show that was focused on stopping crime before it happened, and that was “People of Interest” with Jim Caviezel.
