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.

Queer Eye‘s own Antoni Porowski has recreated American Psycho‘s famous “morning routine” sequence for a new series of short horror films.

“One minute you’re scrounging for change to buy a bag of frozen peas and the next you’re the avocado king,” the show’s resident food and wine expert declares, as he applies a homemade face mask of “Greek yoghurt and steeped green tea leaves” and tends to his herb garden using a “vintage copper watering pot”.

The short film, titled “Antoni Psycho” is part of a series of five short films called Don’t Watch This, currently available on Netflix for the Halloween season, with other titles ”Keep Out”, which sees a pair of YouTubers trek through a haunted house, and “Friendship Bracelet”, which sees a girl reach disturbing lengths to make friends.

Netflix has renewed Queer Eye for a third season, with all five co-hosts – Antoni, Bobby Berk (design), Karamo Brown (culture), Jonathan Van Ness (grooming), and Tan France (fashion) – set to return.

The new eight-episode season was shot in Kansas City, Missouri; the first two seasons focused on Georgia, with season two including Mexican bartender Leo, who refused to grow up, and homeschooled Sean, who just needed a bit of confidence.

A new take on Bravo’s show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the first two seasons of Queer Eye debuted earlier this year on the streaming service to vast critical and popular acclaim.

The Independent‘s Tom Rasmussen wrote of season 2: “in a world where both things have become huge sites of conflict, Queer Eye is urgency disguised as frippery, as acceptance Trojan Horsing as entertainment, and it’s absolutely gay and glorious.”

The third season of Queer Eye is set to debut on Netflix in 2019.
