Netflix has a wide selection of TV shows and movies. You may not be aware of more content because it is either hidden by its algorithm or locked under Netflix’s regional restrictions.
Netflix’s clever algorithms can sometimes lead to subscribers not finding the right shows or movies. Notice how Netflix recommends content similar to what you have already seen. You might miss out on your favorite show because it isn’t in the same category you’ve searched recently.
There are hundreds of secret codes on Netflix that can be used to filter and find new content. These codes can also be used to filter Netflix content if terms such as “action” or “comedy are not sufficient.
This article will teach you how to use secret Netflix codes.
What are Netflix Secret Codes?
Netflix codes are a set of numbers that can be assigned to certain genres or subgenres in order to categorize content. These codes can be used to quickly browse subgenres such as “deep sea horror movies” or “movies for children 5-7.”
Netflix collected data about all of its documentaries and movies by analysing their plots and endings. These data were then processed through algorithms that broke down the content into hundreds if not thousands of mini-genres. Each mini-genre was then assigned a secret code.
How to use secret Netflix codes
For Netflix secret codes, you can only use your desktop browser. They won’t work with smart TV apps or mobile apps. To use a secret Netflix Code, follow the steps below:
- Open your favorite browser.
- Register for your Netflix account.
- Type https://www.netflix.com/ro-en/browse/genre/secretcodeinto your web browser’s address bar and replace “secretcode” with an actual code from the list below and press Enter. Code 2125, for example, will take you to Military Action & Adventure. Netflix will now suggest all movies and TV programs that are tagged in this category.
There are many more hidden codes that you can try. Here’s a complete list of categories to check out. Be aware that some hidden codes may not work due to Netflix’s regional restrictions.
