Can You Watch Downloaded Netflix Shows after They are Removed?

As the king on the streaming video market, Netflix is available in nearly 200 countries and territories around the world. It cooperates with different studios and content providers around the world to acquire licensing rights for TV shows and movies for a certain period for providing its members with new content regularly. However, cooperation will often not last indefinitely, so the licensing rights can expire if not renewed.

Netflix evaluates whether or not to renew it whenever a show or movie is expiring, in terms of the same criteria applied to potential new content. Therefore, no matter how much you love some videos, they will disappear when expiring if they were not popular enough or too costly to renew. In a nutshell, Netflix only offers subscribers a temporary ticket to accessing videos; you are not able to keep enjoying the expired videos, even though you’ve downloaded them on your Netflix app prior to the expiration date.

So, don’t be too surprised if you try to re-watch your favorite downloads on Netflix only to find the videos have mysteriously disappeared. They just have expired. Here comes the question: is there any alternative way to download Netflix videos to computer so as to keep enjoying them even after the expiration?
