"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.

'Paradise' Streams, release date

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.

• Rest of the World Disney Plus

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.
