Yeah despite the flaws you could tell he genuinely enjoyed meeting people all over the world and enjoy hospitality from different cultures.

It's hilariously backwards how a big tech company would yank a episode which showed Iranians in a positive light like their hospitality and great sense of humor in the episode.

tbf some of those episodes got bleak towards the end

like in the rome episode where he's visibly disappointed in every person he meets for being an open fascist or the argentina episode where its so desolate he gets suicidal ideations

What's even the rationale for this? Why did someone at Hulu decide to remove the episode? Iran is now our current geopolitical enemy, that's why all past depictions of the country must be removed? Are only morons working at Hulu?

half the people interviewed in the episode got locked up by the iranian government right after filming (jason rezaian got released just last month) so its probably more about that :shrug:

I realized I could just look it up myself. Apparently Hulu's ownership has become less complicated in recent years:

Owners
The Walt Disney Company
(67% equity; full control)[2]
Comcast
(33% equity; silent partner)

So, no, it wasn't a GE subsidiary or whatever I thought with vested interests in the energy and weapons sectors, it's literally just Disney's compulsion to be the thought police
