Cannot install netflix desktop on ubuntu
I am trying to install netflix desktop version to be able to watch movies offline and I am getting this error.

I am running these commands:
sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
and are these repos still supported? or any suggestion that I can watch it offline on chrome as well?

Those packages NEVER allowed to "watch movies offline", they allowed to watch them online. They are not supported for a long time.

Please note that it you visit the pipelight/stable launchpad site you will find that it does not support release beyond 16.04

And it seems that Silverlight is dead in general. Someone has told OP that they can download movies from Netflix using Ubuntu. :-))

No and they never where supported.
or any suggestion that I can watch it offline on chrome as well?
The only way is to use the netflix app for Windowss, Android or MacOS so no if you want to use netflix to watch a series or movie. For a notebook I would suggest installing windows, netflix app in there and watch from that.

OP probably has the app already, but they want to watch offline. Using that repo I could watch Netflix some time ago.
