Can I download tv shows from Apple TV onto my Mac?
I will be flying for hours and the wifi is unreliable. I'd love to watch some shows, and I am an AppleTV+ subscriber.

On macOS Sonoma 14.5, in the TV app, you would now see a (⋯) button overlay on the episode tile, when hovering over that tile, while viewing the show’s main Details page (select the show anywhere outside Up Next). Click that (⋯) button to reveal the contextual menu, which should include a Download option. Do that for each episode that you want to download.

Regarding the download of content from your Apple TV+ subscription for watching later, Apple has the instruction for this at Download and stream shows, movies, and events from Apple TV+, MLS Season Pass, and Apple TV channels in which is said:
Download a TV show, film or event on your iPhone, iPad or Mac
However, I found in the TV app on my Mac (with Sonoma) that there was one missing piece of information - to access the download option I needed to click on the dotted button in the lower right corner of an episode or movie in order to access the download arrow.
I can download Apple TV content to my creaky old iPhone 7+, but cannot download to my new MacBook Pro. The download icon doesn't even appear. Why is this? My account is logged in and I can stream a show like Dark Matter, but I can't download an episode so I can watch it offline with my MacBook while on a plane.
On some Netflix shows (tv series and movies) you can download. Are you asking “can I download AppleTV + content to my computer” if so the answer is yes if you use the TV app on your Mac, iPhone or iPad. If you use a PC to access AppleTV + content honestly I have no idea.
Success. Thank you!
