Every been watching Netflix on a train only to find that it buffers every-time you lose signal? I’m not sure i have either to be honest because it’s far too infuriating! Well if you do have that issue, fear not as today, the streaming service has announced that with the latest update of its software, you’ll be able to download many TV shows and movies to your devices. Not everything is downloadable but popular shows including The Crown, Stranger Things, Orange is The New Black and Narcos are all on the list.

This follows the likes of Sky Go which has had download functionality for years.
