Netflix finally lets you download TV shows and movies

The option is currently limited to Netflix's original programming.

Netflix has finally added the ability to download TV shows and movies to watch offline. The option is limited to Netflix's own shows right now, including Orange is the New Black, Stranger Things, The Crown, Narcos, and others, but the company will offer more titles for offline viewing in due course of time. Offline viewing is included with all plans, and is available for phones as well as tablets.

The feature is now live with the most recent update, which is rolling out to users today. Once you're on the most recent version of Netflix, you'll see an "Available for Download" section that lists all the titles available for offline viewing. You'll be able to download videos in either Standard or Higher quality, and all downloaded content will be accessible from the "My Downloads" section. Saved content is stored locally, and right now it looks like there's no option to move it to the SD card.
