What is Netflix?
I hope you won’t get bored with this very question since it’s very irrelevant to a good number of people, this question is truly irrelevant especially to those who are lovers of TV series & shows, as well as those using Netflix for a long while.

The Subscription aspect of Netflix
Streaming videos on Netflix is not free, monthly subscriptions are required to be able to access their services (Movies and Series). Once subsribed, you can watch and download videos to your preferred device easily.
After subscribing to a plan on Netflix, you can stream videos online and download them if you wish. Total unlimited access to tv series and movies is guaranteed after subscription, but only if you have internet connection. Downloading videos is therefore, a way of making them available for you even when you have no data to stream online.
But then I can’t see the download option
After subscribing to a plan, getting prober internet and falling in love with series, you failed to see the option to download it. Here is why; Some of Netflix’s content which includes movies and TV shows are produced in partnership with a studio, this Studio therefore owns the franchise or intellectual property associated with the content. While Netflix may have the rights to offer such content for online streaming, they may not be able to offer them for download.
