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.Another month, another big batch of material being added to Netflix.
It goes without saying that it's going to be a huge 31 days on the original content front as it has fast become the norm for the streaming service. The biggest shows on offer this time around is the return of Jason Bateman and Laura Linney in Ozark which will find the Byrdes in danger from every side of the cartel.
Netflix will also be debuting the brand new season of Better Call Saul the morning after it premieres on AMC in the US. This season reunites Bob Odenkirk's protagonist Jimmy McGill with Rhea Seehorn (Kim Wexler) for a season that co-showrunner Vince Gilligan teases as bridging the gap between Breaking Bad.
Film-wise, there'll be an array of classics ranging from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) to Orson Welles' Touch of Evil (1958) as well as newer releases including Bridget Jones's Baby and Bad Moms (both 2016).
Recent animated films Loving Vincent and Kubo and the Two Strings - each released in the past few years to huge acclaim - will also make their debut on the streaming service.
