box sets
Complete series packages
Box sets are collections of related items packaged together—typically multiple CDs, DVDs, or books sold as a unit: the complete Beatles box set, a box set of the Harry Potter novels.
In television, box set often refers to an entire series released for home viewing, or by extension, any serialized show meant for binge-watching: We spent the weekend working through a box set.
