Family Share -- download entire seasons easily?

When I purchase a new season of a TV show for my kids on my iPhone, is there an easy way to download all of the episodes on their iPod? Or should I be purchasing the content differently perhaps?

Right now, on their iPods, I'm doing this:

iTunes > My Purchases > Family Purchases > MY NAME > TV Shows > (Either Recent Purchases or the Show's Name)

And from here, I have to click on each episode individually and then click the little download icon.

Am I missing something? Thank you for your help!!!

iPod, iOS 9

Hello WriterApple,

Thanks for posting your question. I understand you want to know about downloading content purchased from the iTunes Store.

It sounds like you might want to try turning on automatic downloads to see if that works for you: Update apps or use automatic downloads

"Turn on or turn off automatic downloads

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iTunes & App Store. Under Automatic Downloads, turn on or turn off Apps.
On your Mac, open the App Store. From the menu bar at the top of the screen, choose App Store > Preferences. Select or deselect "Automatically download apps purchased on other Mac computers."
On your Apple Watch, go to Settings > App Store. Turn on or turn off Automatic Downloads. Or open the Watch app on your iPhone, scroll to App Store and tap it, then turn on or turn off Automatic Downloads.
On your Apple TV HD or 4K, go to Settings > Apps. Select or deselect Automatically Install Apps.

On your iOS or iPadOS device or Mac, you can also turn on automatic downloads for iTunes Store music purchases and Apple Books purchases."

Cheers.
