Hard to tell who's more fragile....Trump or the Saudi royal family.

netflix wtf is wrong with you?

netflix 1st admendment much? 😏

WritesTruths Shame on u netflix! Ur actions make me wonder what ties Netflix has to the savage Saudis to make u bow to their commands. Its bad enough my taxes support Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. I dont need my $$ supporting u propping up the psychopathic Saudi butcher.

Hi netflix I would very much like to watch this now. Please restore it to your network.

It’s all about the petrodollars, The Saudi’s are very good at making money hungry West Salivate over it. The SAUDI Embassy in Washington spending Millions on both parties to influence our political process, we are just blaming the Saudi’s for prostituting ourselves to them

What next will Netflix pull all shows that are critical of Adolph Hitler since today’s White Supremacists might be offended?

Cowards

So we create the movies in our capitalist country so an American company can cave to a dictatorship overseas?🤔

Who cares what the murderous Saudis think? I don’t. They’re a scum kingdom who would still be strolling the desert if it weren’t for oil.

Sorry Arabia was basically the boy band manager of 9/11? Stan threaten the cut his nevermind

Kowtowing to autocrats. Nice

But Peppa Pig is ok

I hope hasanminhaj makes jokes about this all next season. Ridicule the censorship

Let's hope he doesn't get assassinated. I kinda like the guy.

Wrong thing to do Netflix. There are some principals of more value even to a crass, money hungry corporate entity like you than $$. You should have pulled out of Saudi when the truth of MBS's murder of Kashoggi first came out.

netflix has no backbone! Way to cave!

Where to even begin with the people commenting that this is because of 'PC culture'? There's a difference between making fun of minority groups and being critical of a regime, punching up vs punching down. Why do I even need to say that?

Netflix, you bunch of sissies. Lead from your “safe place.”

LEX18News There goes free speech in America

Welcome to the future.... Comedy has to be non offensive and polite. 🤦‍♂️

Typical liberal, caving because someone’s feelings are hurt! Bye bye comedy, political correctness killed it!

Many consider the Saudi Royal family to be murderers since 911 and our government continues to assist, sell arms to them, and much more. So much for the War on Terrorism we have been fighting for 17 years for corporate gains only. We stopped fighting for democracy long time ago.

Getting mocked is rough... Like getting chopped up alive with a bone saw or something.
