Where the police and investigators fail to bring criminals to justice, the eccentric team of investigative journalists on the troubled "Trigger" TV show step-in. That's the premise behind "Unmasked" and we are invited in for the ride over six double episode drops across a twelve week season. It's like being on a turbo-charged roller coaster with no breaks.

Here's how to watch "Unmasked" online from anywhere with a VPN.

'Unmasked': Streaming info, release date

The first two episodes of "Unmasked" premiered on Hulu in the U.S. on Wednesday, January 15. Two new episodes land every Wednesday until February 19.
• U.S. Hulu / Disney Plus Bundle
• Rest of the World Disney Plus
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free

There is literally nothing Oh So-Ryong ("Ms Oh") won't do to get a story - such as gatecrashing a cult's compound on a paraglider - and serve justice but she also needs to save the show as it faces a ratings dip. She will not, however, compromise her integrity to do that as the credibility of the show means everything to her.

Consequently, newcomer and non-team player Han-do (played by Jung Sung-Il) could not have been transferred to "Trigger" at a worst time and his personality clash with Ms Oh lends a new brand of chaos and difficulty to proceedings but is there a sexual chemistry there somewhere? Only time will tell.

Read on to see the ways you can watch "Unmasked" online on streaming platforms the world over.
