The Good Fight Takes on Trump -- and SVU

Special Victims Unit wrote and shot an episode centered around a politician whose campaign collapses following allegations of sexual assault.

[...] the episode was slated for Nov. 16, after the election, but was yanked again, this time because NBC didn't want the episode to compete with Game 7 of the World Series.

[...] it has never been put back on the schedule, and only the people who worked on the episode know what's in it.

All of this was borderline insular in that it's a TV show talking about a cultural event around another TV show and network that -- while it got a fair bit of media attention -- wasn't exactly the most important thing happening around that time.

While the episode wisely sidesteps getting so insular that it's explaining O&Os to people, the case continued to build from there, with arguments about whether release the episode was a political act versus a self-serving one.

Good Fight doesn't judge its characters for this capitalistic impulse when handled legally -- the older Rindells continue to all be shadowy, amoral people -- but it does highlight that maybe, just maybe, these characters are happiest when their ethics align with financial windfalls, as opposed to just doing the right thing regardless of the money involved.
