Fans of Netflix's topical comedy show Patriot Act have voiced their disappointment after it was cancelled.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

On Tuesday, host Hasan Minhaj confirmed that the series would not return.

"Patriot Act has come to an end... what a run," he wrote on Twitter, adding his thanks to "everyone who watched".

It was the first weekly US talk show to be fronted by an Indian American. One viewer praised the "truly innovative" show, with another saying "South Asians definitely needed something like" it.

A petition urging Netflix to reverse its decision has gained around 7,000 signatures.
