I could but it's not legal :(
I understand your experiment is try watch the series without broke the law. But some laws are plain stupid and a law forbidding people from use a free streaming service is not only stupid but oppressing. Do yourself a favor contract a good vpn, watch whatever show you want and enjoy freedom :)

"If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." - Thomas Jefferson

Following that maxim comes with the implicit privilege of taking the consequences. Depending on your local jurisdiction, it's very possible that breaking the law to watch a decent but hardly worldshattering TV drama involves more risk than it's worth.
Vpn.
Mitigating the risk doesn't eliminate it. Take your own chance, of course - but don't think you're not taking any chance at all.
