There is a whole lot of content locked away on the American version of Netflix, and subscribers in the UK can't access it without a VPN. Services like ExpressVPN can bypass content restrictions to provide access to all the movies and shows from across the pond.

ExpressVPN hides your real IP address and connects you to a server in the U.S., tricking streaming sites like Netflix into thinking you are based in that location. This simple process provides access to a lot of extra content.
