Featuring a strong female lead, the show has received accolades from both viewers and critics. Given its compelling plot and picturesque Irish scenery, the series has amassed a large following throughout its two installments since its release on the Irish platform, RTE, in March 2021. It comes as no surprise that thriller drama fans in the US are excited to watch it on Peacock.
Since it is available exclusively on Peacock, which is a US streaming platform, you will not be able to watch Smother in Canada and Australia.
The good news is that you can stream both seasons of the show with the help of a premium VPN such as PureVPN.

It’s the perfect conclusion to a suspenseful season. Finn is ultimately confronted by Val about his intentions. The grandmother shares with Finn what transpired the night of Denis’ passing together with Elaine.
