"Marilyn Manson: Unmasked" is not what you'd call an authorized biopic. It is, rather, a three-part documentary about a star who was dropped by his label and management in 2021 that gives space to some of the women who have made accusations about his behavior - including ex-girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood. It should be noted here that Manson flatly denies all the allegations.

Below is our guide to how to watch "Marilyn Manson: Unmasked" from anywhere with a VPN – and potentially for FREE.

'Marilyn Manson: Unmasked' - Date, Time, Channels

U.K. date and time: "Marilyn Manson: Unmasked" premieres Tuesday, January 14 at 10 p.m. GMT (5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT).
• FREE STREAMS — Channel 4 (U.K.) / TVNZ+ (N.Z.)
• Canada — Paramount+
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free

Part of the deal when you style yourself as a counter-cultural icon who revels in shock tactics and challenging the status quo is that, particularly in a post-#MeToo world, you better be ready for the backlash when the accusations start flying and be aware that your former self will come back to haunt you.

Alongside the women featured, his lawyer and band members also contribute to this disturbing rise and fall story – but perhaps the most telling observation comes from Manson himself, talking in the third person: “Marilyn Manson is about transcending morality and sexuality" he says. "No boundaries, grey area.”

Billed as 'horrifying but essential viewing' by one British newspaper, here's where to watch "Marilyn Manson: Unmasked" online and from anywhere.

No, he was born Brian Hugh Warner - which probably explains why he changed it although marrying the forename of America's most iconic sex symbol to the surname of its most notorious serial killer would not be everybody's first choice.
