Got a list of TV series and want to download to enjoy one during the upcoming flight or camping? You searched on the Internet, but had no chance? That occurs to me especially when I want to download a popular but not a new series, like Succession. I accidentally saw a video recommending that HBO show and want to watch it after finishing Mad Man last month.
So, I read all the threads on Reddit and a dozen sites on Google, then tested and picked the best 12 sites and methods for TV series download. I can’t wait to share with you those amazing websites and tricks to download web series mostly for free.
A streaming service is the easiest and most legal way to watch and download a TV show. You can find the latest and the most classic TV series with high quality there. There are many popular streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hotstar, and Disney+ ... that allow you to watch and download series directly for offline playback.
I’ll introduce Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube, each of them has its characteristics, so choose the one that is best suited for you.

There are many good sites to download TV series. Some are TV series free download sites, some are not free but with good quality and user experience. Each of those sites to download series offers different options and features, so choose the one that suits you the best.
By the way, during the test, I found that the most free sites for series download are not stable, they break down frequently. If you find the websites I recommend experiencing a service interruption, try other websites and then check back a few days after. For example, last week the site Pahe showed a blank page every time I clicked download, yesterday, I tried again and it worked perfectly.

Continue to click to get the final download link, and you can watch in stream here.
Torrent site is a great choice for downloading TV series with many episodes. It offers file downloading peer-to-peer from other users, which provides free access to television series with fewer ads and they are more reliable. The torrent/magnet file tends to be small and with the torrent client, you can easily download it to your laptop or mobile devices.
It may be banned in some countries, but you can use VPN extensions like Zenmate, Browsec, or Nord. Be mindful of the copyright restrictions and only keep the downloaded series for your own viewing.

It will ask you to create an account, follow the steps to download.
Once you have the torrent files, you need a torrent client to download the file to an mp4 file for offline viewing. There are a lot of fantastic torrent clients like Qbitorrent, uTorrent and BitTorrent.
I’ll take Qbitorrent as an example and show you how to free download TV shows with torrent files.
There's a magic trick to download TV shows and movies without installation, registration, or ads.
Go to Google and type Index of, then add the title of the TV series or a movie. In my case, I type Index of Breaking Bad.
In the results, find one that looks like this:
Click the link and it will automatically be downloaded, mostly in format MKV.
You can convert the .mkv files to .mp4 (read here the article on mkv to mp4), or download an MKV video player like iFunia Media Player.
For Android users, try 1DM browser, the best site for series download on smartphones. It downloads video, music, movies, and torrents at a fast speed.
Especially for Arabic Android users, try Drama Slayer for TV series, Mac Slayer for movies and Anime Slayer for anime if necessary. However, be cautious with the copyright problems.
During my website testing, I discovered some excellent sites that cannot download series but they offer other free services that you may get interested in. There are many other amazing websites to watch TV shows, to know about the latest TV show information, or to discover more series recommendations.
This site enables free series and movies streaming with good quality. Before, it allowed to download but now it says "content not available for download", so I didn’t put this great site into the download list.
It has a wide range of TV shows with complete seasons and episodes and the most popular series and movies. You can watch in stream with high-resolution images with all kinds of language subs and quality options. The download function doesn’t work now as well.
It is the best TV series site where you can find comprehensive new shows. Their articles and recommendations usually suit my taste.
If you have downloading problems, try to use iFunia YouTube Downloader with its free trial.
