Blindspot returns to TV at a time when you're probably stuck at home. Whatever the case may be, if you're looking to get stuck in and find yourself abroad during lockdown, pesky geo-blocking restrictions may stop your normal streaming service being shown where you are.

Fortunately, there's an easy solution. Downloading a VPN will allow you to watch Blindspot no matter where you are. This simple bit of software 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 couch at home.

How to watch Blindspot in Canada: stream the season 5 and series finale

CTV website, (opens in new tab)

Blindspot airs Thursday nights on CTV in Canada at the same as it does in the US - so 9pm ET/8pm MT. That means you can stream it on the CTV website, (opens in new tab) but you'll need cable as you have to register with details of your TV provider.

Sadly, Blindspot season 5 isn't on any Canadian streaming platforms. Crave offers seasons 1-4 of Blindspot and a FREE 30-day trial (opens in new tab), but that's about it unless you want to buy the latest episodes - in which case you can head to iTunes (opens in new tab) where all of season 5 costs CA$24.99 and will include the series finale once it's aired in the US.

Canadians abroad wanting to watch the services they subscribe to back home could do worse than considering getting a VPN (opens in new tab), which is an easy way to get around geo-blocking.
