Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.You may think that you've seen all there pretty much is to see on Netflix, but you're probably wrong - there are more than 76,000 categories of films and TV shows, all set apart by its own numerical URL.
It's easy to assume that the titles you see time and again scrolling through your main library shows off all there is to see, but it's time to cut the streaming service some slack.
Sure, the UK's new additions aren't always the strongest (compared with US or Canada Netflix, anyway), but underneath the surface, there are countless gems for you to unearth.
All you have to do is change the numbers at the end of the dedicated URL and you'll be directed to any genre of your choice ranging from Disney to Classic Foreign Movies and Steamy Thrillers.
