How to Watch The Protector Online

Hot on the heels of season 1 of The Protector comes season 2. This surprise show follows the young hero down a path he knows nothing about.

What makes the show special is that it is not from one of the more popular countries where top TV shows originate.

The Protector can be found on Netflix, but because of geo-restrictions, you will need a VPN to bypass these restrictions.

Here, we will look at both choosing the best streaming VPN and how to watch the Protector online free.

Before this, we will take a quick look at what the show is all about and why it has fans gripped.


What is the Protector?

For full information on the Protector, you can check out IMDB everywhere, and you will see all the cast and episodes, but there may be spoilers in the episode listing.

The Protector is a Turkish TV show. In this fantasy drama, the first 10 episodes of season 1 follow the main character Hakan Demir, a twenty-something which works in the family antique store.

Being inspired by another Turkish businessman Faysal Erdem, played by Okan Yalabik, Hakan has dreams of a bigger store and a more successful life.

On his travels to finding funding for his enterprise, he finds out he is the Protector and is tasked with saving Istanbul from shadowy forces.

The Protector episodes build the tension right up to the last episode of the first season and leave thing ready for season 2 of the Protector.

Hakan finds it hard to believe that he is the Protector and first learns of the Immortal. Zeynep has clues to find the stone while Hakan is at a party hosted by Faysal. Later you follow Zeynep delve deep in a mausoleum to find the stone.

The last three episodes are action packed where Hakan is being led away from a crime scene, and on his way, he spots something unexpected.

While all this is happening, Kemal risks his status to learn more about the immortal. The final episode of the Protector sees Hakan blinded by love and shirking the Protector responsibilities bestowed upon him.

Season two has not long begun, so how can viewers catch the back episodes while watching the second season of the Protector live as it airs in the USA.

Where to Watch the Protector

The Protector is a Netflix exclusive, you may search and find one on ABC, but this show is very different.

Because of geo-restrictions in place, this is where the VPN will come in handy to bypass any restrictions and allows users to access the US Netflix from wherever they are in the world.

US Netflix has the most extensive catalog from any of the 190 countries where Netflix has a service. It makes good sense to log into this one to get the best TV shows and movies.

When you sign up for Netflix, there are three plans, you can choose from.

  • Basic: $7.99 per month – supports HD streaming to one device
  • Standard: $9.99 per month – supports HD streaming to two devices
  • Premium: $11.99 per month – supports HD streaming and 4k streaming on 4 devices simultaneously.

To access the US Netflix, it is better to have your VPN in place to make the signup procedure straight forward.

The one recommendation of VPN is ExpressVPN because it delivers the best streaming experience, and continually bypasses and US Netflix region restrictions.
