You spend more time searching for a movie than watching it. However, Netflix offers dozens of categories invisible from the home screen. All it takes is a simple code to access it. Here’s how to unlock these hidden sections in seconds.
Finding all the Netflix codes in the same place really changes things when you know this very specific frustration: spending more time looking for a film than watching it. We navigate, we hesitate, we go back, we scroll again… and in the end, we don’t always find what we like. With these codes, you no longer need to wander through the catalog for an hour. In just a few seconds, you can go directly to the films that suit your needs, whether it’s a psychological thriller, a romantic comedy or an Asian action film. You choose, you go for it, and this time you actually watch.
On the Netflix application or from your television, simply type the corresponding code in the search bar to immediately display the category. Another possibility: go through the website and modify the numbers at the end of the following address https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/ by replacing the last numbers with the desired code.
