I think it's worth noting that Netflix's 'limited series' label isn't always a clear indicator of how many episodes a show has, as it can also refer to the production scope or the intended run of the series. For example, a show might have a large cast or complex storyline that's meant to be a self-contained story, even if it has multiple seasons. This can sometimes cause confusion among viewers.
