"Paradise" is the latest show from Dan Fogelman, the man behind "This Is Us", and takes us into the world of ex-Presidents, exclusive communities (a kind of "Paradise" presumably) populated by ultra high worth and powerful individuals and, from episode one, suddenly dead ex-Presidents. Naturally, the head of the erstwhile security detail, Agent Xavier Collins (played by Sterling K. Brown) has some explaining to do.
Here's how to watch "Paradise" from anywhere with a VPN.
The first three episodes of "Paradise" officially premiere on Hulu in the U.S. on Tuesday, January 28, but episode 1 dropped early and is streaming now.
• U.S. — Hulu / Disney Plus Bundle
• Rest of the World — Disney Plus
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free
This glimpse into the life of a secret service agent assigned to protect an ex-President is novel, if nothing else. Just how much more relaxed does the security need to be when he no longer has the top job? Not as relaxed as that provided for President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) would seem to be the answer. But this is less about Bradford and more about Agent Collins.
A father of two still grieving for his wife, he finds his charge murdered but then breaks protocol to embark upon an investigation without contacting the relevent authorities. This, understandably, places him under immediate suspicion. Is he being set-up? What is billionaire Paradise resident Samantha Redmond all about and why does she have a codename ('Sinatra')?
Read on to see the ways you can watch "Paradise" online on streaming platforms the world over.

Watch 'Paradise' from anywhere in the world
If "Paradise" isn't streaming where you're currently located, that doesn't mean you have to miss the show while you're away from home. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you are.
We've evaluated many options, and the best VPN you can get right now is NordVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're visiting the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select a U.S. server from the location list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to your streaming service app — Hulu, for example — and watch "Paradise" online from wherever you are in the world.
