When I was in Australia I could get shows I can’t get in the US. The flip side was there were shows I could get in the US that weren’t available there. It changed country by country. A VPN would allow you to look like you were in the US even though you were in England. Personally, enjoy the access to other stuff and catch up on what you miss when you get back.
