  "account": "Possession is an ambitious five-part thriller that delves into the complex legacy of slavery and its repercussions. When the British slave and plantation owner dies, leaving his £50 million estate to Jamaican man Cudjoe East instead of his son, mixed-race lawyer Claudia is sent to Kingston to defend Oliver's claim. The case serves as a metaphor for the ongoing conversation about justice and reparation, with the UK Government's stance being limited to an apology. To watch Possession online from anywhere, a VPN is recommended. Binge offers a 7-day FREE trial for new subscribers, and a VPN like NordVPN can unlock your Binge account. Although an official US release date is uncertain, a VPN can still be used to watch the show while in the US. Possession premiered on Sky Atlantic in the UK on August 6, with all five episodes available as a boxset from launch. A NOW Entertainment Membership, starting at £3.99/month, is another option for watching in the UK. Currently, there are no plans to broadcast Possession in Canada, but NordVPN can still be used in Canada. In Australia, Binge is the streaming service for Possession, starting from $10/month after a 7-day FREE trial.",
