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.Long distance relationships have evolved a lot in recent history; instead of receiving the occasional letter, lovers are constantly able to communicate through phone calls, text, email, Skype, instant messaging and social media, to name just a few.
Now you can add watching Netflix together to that “things we can do together while counting down the minutes until we’re back together” list.
Traditionally a struggle due to buffering times and having to press play at exactly the same time, there’s a Chrome extension called Netflix Party that lets you simultaneously watch the streaming service, while also offering in-app chat.
If you don’t have a partner miles away but want to watch with friends or family, there’s also the option of inviting numerous people to the group. Grab it here.
Now that’s sorted, you just need to choose what to watch. In other Netflix-related news, the streaming service recently revealed which programmes are most likely to be binge watched.
