Hassan Minhaj's show accused of not providing protection to women.

After six thrilling seasons, Netflix abruptly scrapped the prime time comedy talk show Patriot Act, much to the surprise and frustration of fans.

The show has seemed a bit unfocused in recent episodes, but it has failed to live up to its promise.

In June, journalist and editorial producer Sheila V. Kumar wrote on social networking site Twitter that when she was working with Hassan Minhaj in the Patriot Act, she was never so unhappy with him.

However, Sheila V Kumar did not elaborate on the unhappiness but she was not the only employee who had a disappointing experience.

Pakistani writer Noor Nasreen spoke about the time she spent on the show's set and what she had to endure while the cameras were off.

"Most people have asked me to talk about the Patriot Act, but I avoided it because every time I endure the experience of being insulted, targeted and ignored, I get depressed," he said. I go back in those days.Aware of the need for work on the show and the vast opportunity given by the show, he was convinced that tweeting at the time might not have helped him.

 "I am amazed that I deserved the mental anguish I endured in the last few months," she added.

"I wish we still had the Patriot Act, I wish they really followed the progressive ethics that they showed on the screen, then they really deserved your love." ۔

Following Noor Nasreen's tweets, those involved in the Patriot Act also raised the point that it was not a one-man show but was based on the hard work of several people who were treated horribly.

Eva Dixit from the New York Times posted that the show was not just a star's talent and charisma, the people whose hard work made her what she looked like were treated horribly.

"I have seen how my friends went through conditions while working there," he wrote.

Producer Amy Zhang, on the other hand, expressed the most sympathy and confirmed that other people also went through it.

"It was shocking to learn that Sheila and Noor, the unseen producers who led some of our episodes in the Amazon, Saudi Arabia, Indian elections, were silenced and treated unfairly, not just those who Had to go through all.

After which former employees of the Patriot Act also condemned discrimination in the workplace.

One user wrote that while the Patriot Act is important in South Asian representation and social commentary, it should also be condemned for failing to protect those responsible for its success.
