Did you know you could access hundreds of hidden TV shows and movies on Netflix that you would normally miss out on, just by using a simple code?. Picking what to watch on Netflix is a task in itself but if you’re in the mood for something very specific, there’s an easier way to find it without endless scrolling.
The titles on your home screen are based on the content you’ve previously watched but, if like many Netflix users, you’re sharing your account, the algorithm means nothing. In that case, there are thousands of codes that will make searching through Netflix’s catalogue much easier. And you can be as specific as you like with genres like ‘Deep sea horror movies’ or ‘Basketball movies.
To visit each genre’s webpage, all you need to do is input the four-digit code into your web browser after pasting the following address: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/. This method only works on browsers on your device rather than in the app. After finding a film you like, you can then search for it separately on your app.
Here’s the list of codes for each specific genre category that has been documented online:. Action & Adventure: 1365. Action Comedies: 43040. Action Sci-Fi & Fantasy: 1568. Action Thrillers: 43048. Adult Animation: 11881. Adventures: 7442. African Movies: 3761. Alien Sci-Fi: 3327.
