About Raising Hope

James Jimmy Chance, a well-meaning but directionless 24-year-old, finds his life irrevocably altered after a brief encounter with a serial killer leaves him a father. When the mother is incarcerated and sentenced to death, Jimmy suddenly becomes a single parent to an infant daughter, Hope. Overwhelmed and unprepared, Jimmy turns to his eccentric family for help: his parents, Burt and Virginia, who had him as teenagers, and his socially awkward cousin, Maw Maw. Together, they navigate the ups and downs of parenthood, learning valuable lessons about love, responsibility, and the true meaning of family along the way. Jimmy's journey is filled with hilarious mishaps and heartwarming moments as he strives to provide a stable and loving home for Hope, proving that even the most unlikely people can rise to the occasion.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Bypass Geo-Restrictions: Many streaming services are geographically restricted. If you’re traveling outside the U.S., a VPN can make it appear as if you’re still in the country, giving you access to your subscriptions.
- Avoid ISP Throttling: Your internet provider might slow down your connection during high-bandwidth activities like streaming. A VPN encrypts your activity, preventing your ISP from throttling your speeds and ensuring a smooth, buffer-free experience.
- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.

How to get started with ExpressVPN:

- Sign Up: Purchase an ExpressVPN subscription.
- Download: Install the ExpressVPN app on your device.
- Connect: Open the app and connect to a server in the U.S.
- Stream: Log in to your streaming service and enjoy watching your favorite shows securely!
