Too bad but it's not that surprising. You can only have so many Daily show alum copycat shows going at once.

Fuck. One of the best and most informative shows. Its always playing with fire when it comes to Netflix.

That's weird, felt like something that really helped Netflix's roster and was easily on a level with Last Week Tonight and other comedy news shows.

Damn this show was really really good and informative. Not only did they do their research well, but the presentation was awesome. And there are some downright incredible episodes: MBS/Saudi Arabia, Modi, Trudeau etc. Way better than normal shows of this format and pretty much all of the ones currently airing on TV, including the Daily Show. Also was nice to see the different cultural perspective provided by Hasan - lots of my Indian/Pakistani friends really related to that and praised the authenticity.


I'm really surprised it's been canceled.

This is such a bummer. I really enjoyed this, it was a fairly more culture conscious Last Week Tonight. Ugh, Netflix why do you keep failing all of us.

NOOO

Patriot act was incredible. Most of the standup and talk shows that focus on politics and comedy *cough cough Colbert cough* are super unfunny. Hasan has the perfect mix of comedy and information and focusing on enjoyable topics that have a lot of range

That's a shame Hasan definitely was geared for a much younger audience compared to shows like LWT or Full Frontal, not to mention his stronger insights and focus on Asian issues and topics was great. Sure there's a lot of overlap between these shows but catering to more specific demographics was a good thing.

I mean as a brown dude I respected the fuck out of him getting a show. On the other end there's only so much daily show type programs people are gonna watch.

First The Joel McHale show was canceled now Patriot Act. Do weekly shows just not do well on Netflix?

The show had good content but holy shit I find his voice grating and he's really not all that funny. And holy fuck what is it with his arms wailing permanently while he talks.

I didn't really start watching until this recent set of episodes but I really liked it and am sad to see it go.

I linked this show, and thought it was a good avenue to inform people in a more "mass media" kind of manner.

Hope those involved with this show continue something similar in the future. We need an informed public more than ever.

This was the best of these weekly shows. It had a good run and I'm really sad to see it end.

Hope Hasan does something great after this.
