100,000 Titles?

I wonder if Netflix exaggerated the number of titles they have. They boasted more than 100,000 titles. But for a TV series like 24, does it count as 1 title for the whole seasons or does each session count as one title? Do they count each DVD in each season as separate titles and hence further exaggerating the number of titles they have? Anybody knows?

A small diacritic mark, such as an accent, vowel mark, or dot over an i.
The tiniest bit; an iota.; ▶ Reply to This

For instant choices its the number of movies and TV episodes that you could play.; ▶ Reply to This
