As Townhall's Amy Curtis wrote for Twitchy back in August, the trailer for Apple TV's AWFL fantasy "The Savant" had an unintentionally hilarious trailer. Here it is again:
The official trailer for ‘THE SAVANT’ starring Jessica Chastain.

The series follows an undercover investigator and mother who infiltrates hate groups online to detect and prevent domestic extremists before they act.
Premieres September 26 on Apple TV+

The line about Jessica Chastain's character taking down snipers hits a little differently in September. Why wasn't she infiltrating Tyler Robinson's Discord chat group or the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City's Instagram account? Quite a few people seemed to have foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk's assassination, posting that "something big" was going to happen on September 10 during Kirk's visit to the campus of Utah Valley University.
In some sad news, Apple TV+ has indefinitely delayed the release of the show.
“After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone ‘The Savant,’” an Apple TV+ spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline. “We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series at a future date” https://t.co/FW2FPEJ5YL

Somehow, President Donald Trump is behind this.

How to save it:

The brilliant twist would be the series finale showing how all the previous episodes were the narrative her and cohorts sold to the Justice department
Then showing the reality of them setting everything up with planted evidence and militia members being Feds

Maybe they wanted to add antifa into one episode as the bad guys.

Antifa is "just an idea."
Domestic Terrorism is indeed a huge problem. They just keep showing the wrong side doing it. This is some stunning self awareness to delay it.

Apple learns how to read the room. News at 11.
