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.

Can it be? The voices of a slightly aggravated generation are leaving our television screens.

Yes, we must say farewell to Mark and Jeremy as the final ever episode of Peep Show airs, marking the close to nine series and 53 episodes. Though it may never have been a heavy-hitter in the ratings, Peep Show has become a cult infatuation due its ability to so sublimely sum up the existential crisis that is living in the 21st-century.

Selfish, lazy, cruel, furious, spiteful, desperately lonely and desperately lost. We simultaneously fell in love and grew increasingly repulsed by the ongoing social incompetencies of these two, because we were both ashamed and elated to find those embarrassing parts of ourselves projected onto television screens. And they were pretty funny too, as these 12 most glorious moments from the series proves.
