The show that comes to mind for me is Brooklyn 99; specifically during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. Apparently, they scrapped four completed?wprov=sfti1#Production) episodes in light of the George Floyd protests.
The show always tried to be progressive, which I can appreciate. But at the end of the day it did fall under the category of copaganda. I wonder how much the BLM protests influenced the creator's decision to end the show since it ended soon after in 2021.
I think it was the entire reason they ended the show when they did. The last season made it clear they wanted to address some issues, but you can only make that entertaining for so long, after which they had to end the show. Judicial warrants and lengthy trials aren't sexy.
ETA: I've also read that Stephanie Beatriz (Rosa) specifically requested that her character quit the NYPD, because of ethical concerns following the George Floyd protests.
