Are there any shows that got abruptly cancelled because the government didn't like something they said or did? (lemmy.world)

Not because of the acting or even the political beliefs of the actors, but because something that was said in front of the camera offended a government agent who got the show axed.

Utopia on Amazon got cancelled by Amazon. Because it was about a secret shadow government creating a virus to kill off certain races of people.

It came out during covid-19, I don't blame Amazon for canceling it early.
