SWAT took on both social justice and the COVID-19 pandemic as it returned, starting right at the beginning of mask-wearing and ending the premiere with George Floyd's death. That meant the show had its work cut out for it, and so far there have been masks, social distancing, and some seriously complicated situations in the city of Los Angeles amid lockdowns, protests and, starting in episode two, the usual kinds of SWAT drama. So far so good.
