Watch Better Call Saul season 5 online from outside your country
While many US cable subscribers will find it easy to watch Better Call Saul season 5 online thanks to AMC's website and app, it gets a bit more complicated if you find yourself abroad and want to tune in to the latest episode live on Monday nights, rather than having to wait until Tuesday - by which time, the internet is obviously a sea of unwanted spoilers.

This simple bit of kit changes your IP address so that you can access episodes live or on demand as they become available, just as if you were lying on the sofa waiting for your food to be delivered.
While there are hundreds of VPNs to choose from, we always recommend ExpressVPN. As well as being fast, simple, and straightforward to install, it's also compatible with a whole host of devices - Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS and Android to name some of the main ones.
Plus, ExpressVPN's flexible 30-day money back guarantee is difficult to argue with. Even better, you can purchase an annual plan for a 49% discount and 3 months extra FREE – a brilliant offer for an essential bit of software.
