is famous for its algorithm, which is extremely effective in suggesting more titles to users that may be of interest to them. It does this based on our ratings and what and how long we watched.
Hidden Categories on Netflix. How to use “secret codes”?
However, there is a risk that the algorithm will “pigeonize” us and will not offer fresh or thematically different titles. And considering that the platform’s resources include several thousand different productions (which changes every day, because some of them disappear from the website, there are also new items), so there is a good chance that Netflix hides a lot of undiscovered gems.
Fortunately, it is known that the platform divides all productions into different categories that can be searched in several ways. One of them is entering the “secret code”. Where to get them and how to use them? We suggest.
Just enter in the browser in the URL bar: “netflix.com/browse/genre/….”, and then paste one of the ciphers in place of the dots. For example, reality TV buffs can check out these categories:
- Reality TV – 9833
- Reality TV about love and dating – 81233168
- Reality TV about weddings and romance – 50103
- Reality TV with an element of competition – 49266
- Extreme Reality TV Show – 108387
- American Reality TV – 72417
- Korean Reality TV – 3172587
- International reality TV, variety and talk shows – 2070375
Netflix. Codes for hidden categories
“Secret” categories are invisible on the main page, and we will find such directories as e.g. cult productions, documentaries, sci-fi anime, classic musicals, foreign films, romantic independent cinema, etc. You can also find such specific categories as “ocean horror movies”, “boxing movies”, “sports comedies”.
