is one of the most popular in the world, with thousands of films, series and programs in its library. Their number makes it impossible to get acquainted with all the titles available on offer, especially since the algorithm suggests users only productions that correspond to their previous preferences.
Netflix’s algorithm doesn’t meet your expectations? The website has secret categories
For some, the algorithm is salvation, for others it is undoubtedly a drag. Usually, based on previously watched productions, it only sends titles that fit the same topic or are related to it in some way. Thus, the user loses access to new products, as well as other categories that may be of interest to him. However, there is a way to solve this troublesome issue and find out what the titles hide. The website has a list of “secret codes” that allow you to view only the productions on offer that meet your specific interests.
Secret codes for Netflix. How to use them?
Few people know that the Netflix library includes many different categories. However, users need a special code to use most of them. The easiest way is to enter it at the very end of the website address: www.netflix.com/browse/genre/. This option also works without any problems when you enter the cipher in the search bar on the platform’s website or in the mobile application. The offer includes as many as 15 different categories, and each of them has from a few to a dozen subgenres, grouped depending on age, country of origin or plot. Just select the one you are interested in, enter it in the appropriate place and that’s it.
The portal collected all Netflix “secret codes” and placed them on one list. It includes action and adventure films, anime, children’s and family productions, comedies, documentaries, horror films, romantic films, science fiction and fantasy, cinema classics and much more.
