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.It is always a big blow when one of your favourite shows is cancelled, and even more so when the makers are not even given the chance to film a proper ending.
That's what happened to My Name Is Earl fans earlier this year, when it was announced that there would be no follow-up to this, the comedy's fourth season. As a result, the show as a whole finishes without a conclusion, which is a shame for a comedy that was always consistently entertaining, albeit rarely brilliant. As always, this season follows the attempts of loveable Earl (Jason Lee) to gain karma by righting wrongs from his past, and the real appeal lies in the performances. Lee is perfect, and the surrounding cast excellent, most notably Jaime Pressly as his ex-wife. A show that will be missed.
