Your iPhone 5 has a limited amount of storage space, which means that you won’t be able to store more than a few TV show episodes on the device.

But if you have had your Apple ID for more than a couple of years, you may have an extensive collection of TV show episodes that you could want to watch at any given time.

Fortunately, you can configure your iPhone 5 to display all of your owned TV show episodes in the Videos app, allowing you to download episodes from the cloud.
