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."Denmark 1-0 America."
John Perry
"Watched half an hour and lost interest... Please don't try to remake Scandinavian crime series; you will fail miserably!"
Jennifer Targhi
"The Meyer/Lund dynamic is all wrong."
John O Sullivan
"I found it initially more emotionally engaging than the original, but did get quite bored midway through..."
Meirion Hughes
"People seem to love books and series about child-abduction, murder, rape and paedophilia. I really don't understand how that's fun or interesting."
Jack Everett
"Considering all the publicity and advertising Channel 4 have invested, the opening episode was definitely a flop! It was seriously boring. I can only imagine how much worse it will become after a few more episodes..."
Pelle Al-Kas
"Not as good as the original Danish version."
Ian Astbury-Jones
"The US version is excellent – scary, funny and very well done. It seems to rain all the time in Seattle."
Mark Beattie
"Not a patch on the excellent Danish original."
Alison Hall
"Very impressed with this version of The Killing. The characterisation is fascinating and the plot is compelling. I highly recommend it."
Kasabian1975
"This came to our screens too soon after the original."
Old_chap
"Addictive."
