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.

Kenneth Branagh is a bit Marmite: you either love him or loathe him.

Which is a shame for Wallender, a very serviceable, dour Swedish police thriller drama, as Branagh plays it every bit as unluvvyish as necessary.

The result is a fine turn as a detective who takes his cases to heart, often at the expense of family. There's also no flash nonsense à la CSI, just honest-to-goodness police work. Very watchable, though it's not going to change the world.
