Set up Netflix on Any Device

Netflix is a streaming service with a subscription model that enables users to watch TV series and movies on a device with an internet connection after you set up Netflix on that device.

Depending on your subscription, you may be able to download TV series and movies to your Windows 10, iOS, or Android device so you can view them offline.
