It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.

'MobLand' Release Schedule: When the Finale Drops on Paramount Plus
If you're a Paramount Plus drama with "Land" in its title, viewers will seemingly show up for you. The streamer's new crime series MobLand — and the Taylor Sheridan shows Landman and 1923 — make up the top three launches in Paramount Plus history. It could be Tom Hardy or Guy Ritchie bringing in eyeballs, but I'm sticking with my "Land" theory. MobLand premiered in late March and stars Hardy as a fixer for a crime family who clashes with another family "in a war that threatens to topple empires and lives," according to the streaming service. Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren are part of the star-studded cast, and Ritchie directed the first two episodes and serves as an executive producer. MobLand shares a creator, Ronan Bennett, with Peacock's The Day of the Jackal. As of this writing, the show has a 74% score on Rotten Tomatoes. If you're caught up on the series so far, here's how to watch the finale. When to watch MobLand on Paramount Plus In the US, the first nine episodes of MobLand are now streaming on Paramount Plus. The tenth will debut on Sunday. Here's a release schedule for the rest of the season: Episode 10: The Beast in Me — June 1 Paramount Plus subscriptions cost $8 or $13 per month, depending on the tier you select. Both give you access to MobLand. The entry-level Essential plan is ad-supported. The pricier Showtime plan removes most ads and includes downloads and Showtime programming. You can also purchase a full year of either plan and save some money versus paying each month individually.

British drama becomes hit in Japan despite mixed UK reviews
An iconic British drama has become an unlikely hit in Japan despite a string of mixed reviews in the UK. The six-part crime series, titled Bergerac, hit screens with a reboot back in February and stars Damien Molony, who stepped into John Nettles's lead role of Jim Bergerac. Originally airing in 1981, the remake follows the complicated detective Jim as he has to deal with the past case of a murdered woman alongside his own personal issues. All six episodes are available to watch for free on the U&Drama streaming service. In an unexpected move, the Jersey-based series has caught the attention of TV bosses in Japan. Bergerac is now reportedly set to air on Japanese broadcaster WOWOW. However, the remake of the detective drama flopped in the UK and has a mediocre 6.4/10 rating on IMDb, with many favouring the original. The Mail's Christopher Stevens scored the series four out of five stars but noted it 'very different production from the one that enthralled audiences in the Eighties'. Other critics weren't so positive and the Scottish Daily Mail's John Macleod expressed his dismay at the lack of 'original ideas' on television. The New Statesman penned how the reboot 'lost all its drollness and sense of fun'. The publication dubbed it 'the half-hearted return of Bergerac'. Radio Times was more positive and scored the reboot three out of five stars and praised how 'nods to the original will tick boxes for longtime fans'. Though the publication noted 'there's no sign of the reggae-tinged accordion theme tune, which was a banger'. While some fans missed the charm of the YEAR series and penned on Rotten Tomatoes: 'What a shame, it's all got to serious, none of the understated humour of the original series, which I've started watching again, far better.' Another added: 'Tried it this evening and sorry the main character has the charisma of a goldfinch and high doses of being annoying and self-centred. 'John Nettles had the ability to make you like him... which this new character doesn't. 'Without John Nettles Midsomer Murders would have fold as this series will very quickly under its new straight jacket of cliches and bad acting.' Bergerac 2025 hit an impressive 1.8million viewers per episode when it first hit screens earlier this year. Want more stories like this from the Daily Mail?
