If by “all content”, you mean, “everything produced originally as a TV series”, sure; movies (particularly, anything older that wasn’t alrrady there or anything not super mainstream) had a nuch better chance of reaching the Netflix disk catalog than Netflix streaming, up until the point when content owners having their own streaming platforms meant even the TV stuff and mainstream movies would often miss Netflix unless it was Netflix-owned.
