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.It was comforting having nine seasons of The Office US on Netflix. You could pop in to Dunder Mifflin anytime you wanted - perfect 'two episodes before bed' TV that was reliably funny.
But, as expected (although a few weeks later), the entirety of the show has this morning departed the streaming service.
It seems to be the case for the UK, US and other territories, and fans aren't happy:
It's almost certainly a licensing thing, and shows and films tend to come and go from Netflix often without warning.
There's a chance the sitcom will make it back at some point, but it doesn't look like it'll be anytime soon.
"Netflix currently have no news on whether it will be returning," a rep told The Independent.
