Hasan Minhaj's Patriot Act: Why Netflix should reconsider cancelling it

If you've made it this far into 2020 without knowing what it is like to binge watch various shows on OTT platforms like Netflix, Prime and Disney+ Hotstar, my condolences. You don't know what you're missing out on. 

But even though Netflix has revolutionised the way we watch content, giving space to diverse content, some of its choices are questionable. Dropping Bojack Horseman after the sixth season and now cancelling Hasan Minhaj's Patriot Act are two of those major bad decisions that Netflix seems to have made. In the case of Bojack Horseman, however, at least there was closure. 

But with dissenting voices getting crippled across the globe, Patriot Act was one such uncensored show which dared to speak truth to power, in a hilarious manner. It was the first US talk show hosted by an Indian American and South Asians couldn't get over it. Even the desi teens in the U.S loved hearing a familiar voice who had gone through familiar situations. His take on political hot topics with his genuinely unique voice was garnering a lot of fans across the globe. There's no doubt in the fact that Minhaj has made a big name for himself but Patriot Act stood for more than just one person. 

He brought out all the things that were "hushed up" to the mainstream in a comical voice and did the job of media organisations in both educating and entertaining. The fans are livid over its cancellation and asking Netflix to reconsider its decision.
