You can now download shows and films from Netflix

If you've ever had a Netflix subscription, there will have been a time when you cursed the internet gods for interrupting your stream.

A shoddy connection or a power outage has always forced you to go back to doing things the old fashioned way, which can be a problem when your laptop doesn't have a disk drive and you didn't bother fixing your TV because you do all your viewing online. https://twitter.com/MakaylaMashelle/status/755476150911111169 https://twitter.com/ashlie_cooper/status/757370918347825152 https://twitter.com/makeitmatterec/status/800827170721562624 https://twitter.com/woahem_/status/559907717507481600 Well, it's been a long time coming, but finally our prayers have been answered, with Netflix confirming that you can now download shows to watch offline. And this isn't just a US Netflix thing that we're hoping eventually comes to the UK - the streaming service is rolling out the new feature globally. https://twitter.com/NetflixUK/status/803965406423744512 The new feature can be found in the latest update for mobile and tablet devices. Netflix have provided more detail in a blog post, explaining that the feature is available on all mobile and tablet devices and comes at no extra cost.

'While many members enjoy watching Netflix at home, we’ve often heard they also want to continue their Stranger Things binge while on airplanes and other places where Internet is expensive or limited,' the post reads. 'Just click the download button on the details page for a film or TV series and you can watch it later without an internet connection.'

While a full list of downloadable content has not been released, Netflix confirmed that 'Narcos', 'Orange is the New Black' and 'The Crown' are among the shows already available to download and watch offline. And the news has already been very well-received. https://twitter.com/D_A_Wild/status/803970875498307584 https://twitter.com/SuweetLou/status/803971859301761024 https://twitter.com/brendandemmy/status/803970968108535809 https://twitter.com/untamedbananas/status/803975322513342464 Catch up with this week's episode of Football Friday Live
